You should consult your doctor ,epilive is not given during pregnancy ,he will switch you over to antiepileptic which are safe during pregnancy. Taking epilive at time of conception will not harm the baby as at this time organs are not been formed
continue your pregnancy, throughout the pregnancy you should be in consultation with physician & gynaecologist.

Better consult your physician and then change any medicine. Don't take risk of taking treatment from a doctor who does not know about your case.

Hello-
women taking levepsy may develop pcos, while men may have sperm abnormalities and/or sexual dysfunction. Liver enzyme inducing aeds may also cause menstrual and sexual disorders in women and sexual dysfunction in men. Newer aeds are much safer but studies still suggest reduced sexuality and erectile dysfunction.

Dear Pratik,
Since both Epilive and alcohol act on the same brain and nerve cells, it is better not to combine both. It will lead to more side effects. However you can take Epilive after your dinner.
