Hi! I was dx’d with epilepsy as an adult. I am on fairly high doses of onfi and lamictal. I’ll be trying to wean off some of the onfi because I hope to get pregnant towards the end of the year, and because I just got a celiac dx. Celiac can, in rare cases, cause epilepsy. Complicated haha. Anyone have stories of pregnancy + epilepsy? Celiac + epilepsy? The combination is always what throws doctors off and I haven’t met anyone who is in any way “alike”… hence why I’m on this app 😁
I was pregnant and have temporal lobe epilepsy. I didnt take my lamictal during pregnancy which i take for epilepsy but it also coincidentally helps my mental health as well. I didn't have any problems with my pregnancy regarding my epilepsy but i got very bad post partum depression and i regret stopping my lamictal
