Carbatrol with Pregnancy

Thu, 11/17/2016 - 14:40
I am looking for anyone that is or has been pregnant while on the medicine Carbatrol. I am 9 weeks pregnant & very concerned at the baby cause I know with Carbatrol come a lot of risks & birth defects. Would love to hear from someone who has possibly taken this medicine while pregnant. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am on 300mg 2 capsules twice a day. I am 29 years old & has JME since I was 10 years old.
