MY SIL had to take tegretol(high strength) epilepsy drug while PG atm her son is ok. her specialist said it was ok to take while pg but she had an experience whne pg that she got more and a the pharmasist went nutso at her telling her that her unborn child will be born with massive problems ra ra. SIL left upset and angry at that woman!

also the thing with epilepsy is they go with out oxygen when having a fit, so if pg baby then goes with out... so it is important to maintain good health for epileptics by continueing what they were doing before getting pg.
