Hi,I’m 29 female. I have been married last year. I'm taking 100mg topiramate daily.
I have a question and need advice.
my first seizure was watching T.V(Pokemon) when I was 11. I never had seizure during 10 years.
My husband and I'm really really hoping for pregnancy.
So, last week I checked EEG test but my brain still have unusual electrical activity and my doctor said "should keep take medicine(Topitamate)" even if I am pregnant.
I fear topiramate haven't enough information and effect for pregnancy.
I really need to know if i have a baby while i'm on topitamate. Is it safe for baby ?or not.(should change medicine?) what should I do.
please help.
