Hello all,
My name is Christine and I was diagnosed with ideopathic E back in 2006 but didn't have a tonic clonic seizure until 2008. Since then I've tried Lamictol, Dilantin and Keppra; the latter is the only medication I've tried that remotely agrees with me!
My husband and I are preparing to conceive our first child together and my GP struck the fear of God into our hearts regarding the possible risk factors of mental/physical birth defects of a fetus exposed to AEDs. I have been taking 500mg of Keppra daily and it does the trick! Otherwise I'd be twitching constantly. Has anyone had positive or negative pregnancy experiences while on Keppra/while their partner has been on Keppra?
I look forward to getting feedback of all sorts from all the lovely people on this forum!
Until soon!
CJ
