Hi everyone,

this is my first post-- I'd really appreciate whatever feedback you can give me. I had an EEG the other day in hopes of getting off AEDs all together, but no dice, still spikes and my neurologist still said I should stay on.

I had my first seizure about 3 years ago, docs believe as a result of scar tissue from surgery to remove a brain tumor. . . and i've had a few more surgeries since then. . .I started with keppra which didn't work for me.  I've been on a low dose of topamax ever since,100 mg 2x a day, which is great for me.  BUT, as many of you surely know topamax is now considered not the "safest" for pregnancy.  My husband and I would really like to start a family and I just don't know what to do.  I'm just so scared. . .my neurologist seems content with me on the topamax and worried about me switching, he also mentioned that we'd have to up the dose into a pregnancy.

Anything you could offer as advise or your own experiences would be greatly appreciated,

Adrianne
