Hey, this is my first post. I take
1000mg of keppra, twice daily for
treatment of tonic-clonic seizures.
Originally, they thought that I had
rolandic epilepsy, but I think that since
I don't seem to be growing out of it, I
can rule that out. Anyway,
i was wondering if epilepsy specifically
can cause infertility? All the research
I have done has completely shied away from
this topic.
Does keppra seem to cause infertility? I
know that it can cause birth defects, but
infertility, yet again, I can't find any
answers. I mean, can it effect my eggs?
Thanks!

I've not run across any information that
epilepsy iteself - ie. A seizure disorder
- has any relation to infertility. I
have seen questions as to the role of
certain aeds and low libido (sex drive)
and possible infertility. However, I
have not seen any definitive statements on
the matter.

I have been ttc for 18 months, but we have
found out that the main cause is with my
husband. We will have to do ivf.
Anyone know if there are any special
precautions for epilepsy and ivf?
