hi, my husband and i are trying to make a little one and its proving more difficult than we thought. mainly because no one (doc, neurologist, parents etc) can agree on whether i should stay on the medication during the pregnancy. i know about the cleft pallet and/or lip side effect that can occur. but i also realize that i may have complications if i have a seizure because im not taking anything. my neurologist told me to just stop taking it because my last EEG looked real good. but of course it did since i was medicated. im starting to think he doesnt know wut hes talkin about. but anyways, for now my husband and i decided to taper off and see how i do as i lower the dosage. can anyone share some information with me about this? and those of u who have children with the cleft pallet if u could go back and re do the pregnancy would u think it was worth the risk to go off the med to avoid the defect? also are there other major defects??? im also curious that im not already pregnant. has anyone out there had difficulty conceiving due to their antiepileptic medications??
