Enjoy: The two best choices would be Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil) and vibramycin. Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil) is a combination of proguanil and atovaquone. Vibramycin is the brand name for doxycycline. Other medications are known to lower the seizure threshold and since you are not on anti-epileptic medication the above two are best for you. These are both safe to take while trying to conceive.
