Pregnant whilst on multiple AED's (Tegretol, Keppra, Toprimite)
Mon, 11/11/2013 - 15:35Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi, has anyone got/ been pregnant whilst on multiple meds? I take 2000 keppra, 1100 tegretol and 350 toprimite daily plus and a 5mg folic acid. I have researched the medication I'm currently taking and have found tegretol to be the unsafest to be taking whilst pregnant. I'd like to know if anyone has been pregnant whilst on tegretol or whilst taking multiple AED's as my specialist wants me to stay on my meds whilst trying to conceive. Thanks in advance!
You can't take Keppra while

You can't take Keppra while you are pregnant. There are, however, some meds that you can still take. Talk to your neurologist
