I need advice about neurontin and pregnancy
Thu, 01/13/2005 - 11:53Topic: Family & Friends
If there is any doctor there or somebody who was in similar situation that mine, please help me.I live in USA for around a year, I don't have health insurance, so I can't go to the doctor to ask about it.I have epilepsy since I was 14, I had around 10 seizures in my life, for around 5 years I take neurontin which works very well, I didn't have seizures for over a year. The problem is that I want to have a baby and I know I shouldn't take neurontin during pregnancy. Is there any other medicine similar to neurontin that I could take during pregnancy?

I took Neurontin during my pregnancy. My daughter is currently 14month. She is beautiful and developing just fine. I didn't have any complications during my pregnancy or delivery. Best of luck Richelle
