HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor Epilepsy occurs due to abnormal excessive electrical discharges from brain. Even most of the investigations come normal in this. Level or levatricetam and decorate or sodium valproate both are very good anti-epileptic Chat Doctor.  Now coming to your questions - Usually after an episode of epilepsy, Neurologists advocate start of medicine. They are prescribed for about 3 years. If for 3 years no seizure occur then gradual tapering of medicines is done. - If you want to get conceive it is safe. The medicines of your husband have nothing to do with your pregnancy. Thanks
