When where you on TEGRETOL?? What year??
I began it in 1969, three days after I had my first GrandMAL at age fifteen.

Thanks for your kind words.

I have two children...the first one the pregnancy was unexpected and seized more. Child no 2, rarely had seizures. Neither have health issues related to epilepsy. Just make sure you plan ahead and discuss your options with your neuro, you may need to switch meds. Good luck🙂

This is the second one that is asking me if they can get pregnant with a seizure.
No not from a seizure. My seizures started when I was 21. I had already had 2 children
I had another baby after that only one.
I think you should talk to your Dr. I Have taken just about every drug out there. The only one that worked was Tegregtol.
