Or what would even happen to me if I became pregant? What should I do?

Hi there,
i also have epilepsy. I used to work in a pharmacy and I remember that we used to fill prescriptions of keppra for pregnant women with epilepsy. Of corse, you should consult with your neurologist and obgyn before becomming pregnant, but I don't see any reason why you could not have a healthy child.
I hope that helped a little. I'm no doctor, but I have been around the block a few times! :d
