Effect of a mood stabilizer on birth control?

i recently started lamictil to minister to my bipolar disorder. i know that my birth control pill decreases the amount of lamictil i in actual fact recieve, so i have to pocket a lot more than if i weren't on the pill. but does lamictil ease the effectiveness of my birth control pill? i'm not on a 'irreversible' dosage of lamictil yet as i simply recently started it, and my birth control pill is loestrin24, if that make a difference. thanks.

In nonspecific, mood stabilizers affect performance of birth control pills. There may be bleeding risks.
