    Pregnancy in Epilepsy
    I have epilepsy and take seizure medications and was wondering is it safe to fall pregnant on keppra and lamictal? I have had epilepsy for 5 years now. And was wondering if its OK to fall pregnant on those medications??

    Quite honestly... this question is the one you should be asking your OB/GYN because they will know all the details of your complete medical history to give a far better answer than anyone online without that information can possibly give.

    Both are Category C medications and should only be used if there is no alternative.

    Epilepsy would put you in a high risk category. You should discuss this with a high risk OB.
