Hello,
I'm just wondering if any of you have had success since these original posts were made? My husband is on carbatrol (tegretol) 1200 mg per day and lamotrigine 300 mg per day. We have been trying to conceive for a year. We had another child before his epilepsy so I am wondering if the medication is causing a problem.
Also, does anyone know which anti-seizure meds do not affect male fertility? I saw lamotrogine is one but my husband just uses that as a secondary med. I think he would consider changing meds because his current combination is not working that well. He's had more seizures than usual this year.

Let me try to ease some of your troubles. Someone that is very very close and dear to me, and still young has multiple tumors in his brain and can not have more surgery's. Nor has his wife conceived. 8 years of trying. I hope this clarifies some of the troubles. I pray they have a baby soon.
