A member asked:
Will my baby be addicted to my anti-seizure medication if i have seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The only agent that is habit-forming that is used as an anticonvulsant is phenobarbital. With all of the newer drugs available that have improved safety profiles, Phenobarbital is not used very often. Talk to your neurologist about the effects of your medication on your baby.
