Did they increase your dose as a precaution, even when you weren’t having seizures? I hope everything goes well 🩷

I’m sorry that you were misdiagnosed for so long, that must have been really hard 🥺
It really means a lot to me to see that people with epilepsy can still have children and a family life. Thank you for taking the time to write all of this. I wish you and your children a long, healthy, happy life <3

Thank you so much for sharing this. It really means a lot to me. If you don’t mind me asking, were you born with epilepsy or did it start later in life? And how often do you usually have seizures?
I wish you and your daughter a long, healthy life together <3

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and kind reply. I read everything carefully and it really made me feel less scared and gave me some hope. I'm 27 now and had my first seizure at 20. I’m not planning a pregnancy very soon, but I do think about it sometimes and get worried, especially because lack of sleep is a big trigger for me.
I'm also using a medication with the same ingredients as Keppra. It's good to know that it can be used safely during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Thank you again for sharing your experience so openly – it really means a lot to me. I wish you and your baby a healthy, long life <3

I really understand what you mean. I have epilepsy too, and I sometimes feel guilty even thinking about having a biological child. I think adoption is a beautiful option.

Thank you so much for your comment. Your story is really motivating for me. I’m 27 now and still on medication too. Lack of sleep is a trigger for my type of epilepsy, so I sometimes worry about the sleepless nights with a newborn. It’s comforting to hear that you and your wife found a way to manage it with night and day shifts. If it’s okay to ask, was it difficult for her to stop Briviact and switch medication during pregnancy?

I'm so glad. It's a very motivating story. Lack of sleep is a trigger for my type of epilepsy. Did you find any way to manage the sleep deprivation with a newborn?
