Hi,
I'm still breastfeeding my 19month old and we are thinking of trying for a new baby. I have epilepsy and atm take Lamictal 100mg +100mg for it. I had some seizures on my last pregnansy due to the plasenta hormone messing with my drug consecrations. My doctor wants to add my Lamictal to 300-400mg per day before the new pregnansy to prevent seizures. I would like to wait until week 10 so the spinal cord has time to close, but he is intent.
Is it safe to keep breastfeeding my toddler if I start taking higher amounts of the drug? I was thinking of maby keeping only evening, morning and nap feeds and timing my medicine taking times with them.
If I get pregnant my doctor wants to start me with Vimpat at weeks 12. Is that a safe drug to continue nursing?
