I need to answer a medical board question about juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and its treatment options during pregnancy. Valproate is often used but poses risks, especially in early pregnancy, due to its teratogenic effects. At four months, while many organ developments are complete, there are still concerns. Lamotrigine is safer during pregnancy, and ideally, a patient should switch before conception. A potential approach is adding lamotrigine while tapering off valproate to manage risks effectively. Carbamazepine isn’t appropriate for JME.
