A member asked:

Is it possible to be pregnant on the seizure meds topriamate or vimpat (lacosamide)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The greater the number of seizure meds, the higher the chance for developmental problems, of course. But grand mal seizures are also quite bad for a developing baby...it's a balancing act with the meds.
