How old are you ? You can still be pregnant but they will substitute it, or manage. i have been on that drug forever

It was Vigabatrin that cost me to lose some of my sight permanently, so if anyone is taking this medication please get your eyes checked regularly

Yes they can. I have 3 beautiful grown children and they have never had a seizure or showed symptoms. I continued taking my meds while pregnant because it was such a small percentage that it could harm my baby. Having a seizure while pregnant or in labor would have been worse. Good luck and stay strong!!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member i'm going to eye specialist for sure now :\ my right eye's eyesight is getting low.

I've been on so many different messages for my epilepsy, but I think it was Tegretol that lost me some of my sight (my inner field vision). Once it's gone it can't be recovered, so make sure you have your eyes tested regularly
