Not pregnant and still no period. My gynecologist says talk to my neurologist and my neurologist says talk to my gynecologist. (Despite the fact that my neurologist directly referred me to my gynecologist). Think I will be switching both doctors since my neuro obviously doesn't seem concerned about the no period (even though it coincides with the seizures and meds) and my gyno gave me a speech on the 'delicate balance of menstraution and ovulation' and said 'he would have to check into Keppra...he doesn't know much about seizures or AED's'.

SOmetimes the change of meds can have some change on your period. For I was on a med and as I was changing I was not getting my period some months. My doctor took me off, and my period went back to normal. take care Lisa http://www.sleep-safe.co.uk/id90.htm http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach1/
