Anyone take vimpat and have a healthy pregnancy/no issues conceiving? I take 200 mg twice daily. My doctor says everything will be ok but just looking for real experiences. Thanks :)

I believe that I was on that one during my last pregnancy. Its been 14 years; please forgive. I have two completely healthy sons; 13 and 23. The only thing that Im unsure of is my younger son has ADHD. Not sure if from meds or not. Good luck. I would say dont worry. I did have seizures and med increases during both pregnancies.
