Does anyone or any family member have epilepsy and TTC  or take trileptal while TTC or pregnant?? Would love to hear any and all stories! I've heard this risk for birth defects while on trileptal isn't that much greater than general population. I've heard it's safe and not safe so I have no idea what to believe. I take 1050 milligrams a day and I have nocturnal seizures in my sleep less than once a month.
