Pregnancy And Meds?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Returning To Work After Seizures
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Abuse Of Site
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, this forum is very important and helpful for those suffering and needing advice. Recently I have noticed people abusing the forum and treating it as a dating site - giving out private email addresses and phone numbers to those that are vulnerable. Please don't abuse the site in this way (I'm not mentioning names but you know who you are).Thank you.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Briviact is a sub version of Keppra which is well known for also causing the violent outbursts in children. So, It's most likely due to that. You will have to speak to the GP.
