Hello! I hope you are all keeping well! I am looking to hear from anyone who takes Zebinix (Aptiom) and had had a successful (or unsuccessful) pregnancy?

Thank you!,
Yves

Hi all,

I had my first baby 6 months ago and was able to do it with no meds. Unfortunately I have had two grand mal/tonic clonic seizures since then while sleeping so now I'm taking Keppra and Lamictal. We want to have another baby sometime in the next year or two. Has anyone taken these meds while pregnant? My neurologist has said I need to be on meds for the rest of my life. :-( I'm worried about taking them while preggo...

Hi,
I have been on maternity leave then on disability for an addition 4 months. I have had two major tonic clonic seizures during sleep since being on leave and am now back on meds. I am still having simple partial seizures during sleep. I have a job that requires me to drive all day and sometimes transport children by myself. Should I disclose the new seizures and my history of epilepsy to my job before returning in 2 weeks? I don't want to lose my job or my benefits I have a newborn son.

Ever since I had my first and only grand mal seizure last January, I've had a really hard time talking. With almost every conversation I have I will mess up words that use to be no problem for me. It almost feels like as if my mouth is deformed. At first I thought it was because I talk to fast but when I slow myself down in a conversation then it'll trigger a absence seizure and I won't be able to talk at all.

Question: Does anyone hear things around them when having a seizure. I think I just had one but seem to be aware of what’s happening. Just had trouble talking? Thank you for any input.
