Hi,
Thank you for contacting Healthcare magic.

Epilepsy is a common problem and one can have a normal married life with this problem.
However, your gynaecologist concern is correct. Desval ER is not the safest medicine when you are trying to conceive. You may discuss this issue with your doctor, and change over to other safer medicines such as oxcarbazepine or lamotrigine.

Wishing you good health,
