I am twenty five years old and have at least 5 fibroids (3 on the left breast 2 on the right).
I take Aniti- Epileptic drugs- Lamotrigine and Topiramate and did not know if this is what has caused them.
Can Lamotrigine or Topiramate cause Fibrocystic Breast Disease?

You can view side-effects pofiles of both your anti-epileptic drugs here:

I can see no reference to fibrocystic breast disease for either of your medications.
Fibrocystic breast disease is estimated to affect over 60% of all women. The condition is so common that it is believed to be a variation of normal. The cause is not completely understood. The changes are believed to be associated with hormones produced by the ovaries because the condition usually subsides with menopause, when ovary function changes. The changes also may vary during the menstrual cycle.
