Hi all. I am considering pregnancy. I am currently taking 100mg twice daily of Lamotrigine.

Does anyone know of any risks or complications with pregnancy and this medication?

Thank you x

    My daughters doctor put her on lamotrogine as shes likely to be on it for life, he said that this one is safer when she has children.

    I know that epilem had issues in pregnancy.

    Hope this helps

    I just googled it and it doesn't appear to have any risks but you should ask your doctor

      Epilim is contraindicated pre conception as well as during the pregnancy.
