Please consult a local neurologist to optimise medication and get some blood tests to exclude any systemic cause of tiredness.

Epilepsy is due to a variety of causes. It can be cured in some with acquired causes but not in those with genetic or irreversible acquired causes. The minimum duration for your drugs is 2 years in most cases but in case you have been labelled jme, you are required to take ot lifelong.

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.
