Hello, Carbamazepine is a relatively safe medicine during pregnancy; if you are taking it for an EEG documented epilepsy, it is not advisable to discontinue it. If it is for other indications, do let me know, and I shall advise you whether it is absolutely necessary to continue the medicine or whether you can discontinue it to avoid the side effects due to the same in your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
