A member asked:
Have you had a healthy baby on epileptic medication ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While there are potential risks/harm to a baby with many types of medication, seizure medications can be particularly harmful if not managed properly. You will need to work with a neurologist and obstetrician together to make sure you are on the best medication regimen. You will need to have a good understanding of the risks and benefits that go with taking seizure medication.
