Talk to your Dr! Did you wein off them or just stop them? It's VERY dangerous to just stop them if you did! Keep in close contact with your GP and your meds Dr. while you're trying and are pregnant! From what I understand after the first trimester there are some bipolar meds that are safe to take!

Ditto on staying in close contact with the psychiatrist prescribing your meds.  It is vital that you work closely with the doc, and discuss all of your symptoms. 

Be safe.  Do you have any self-soothing skills you can use on a regular basis to help you ride out some of the extreme symptoms? 

Hugs,

I'm absolutely agree about consultation with a doctor.

Maybe this meds are not suitable for you. Try to use another medications.

But to be completely sure that they'll be safe you should consult with a doctor.

By the way you can do it here

Hiya..Sorry you are having a hard time. I agree that you should keep in contact with your dr (if you havent already). There are some medications you can take when you are pregnant. You have to ask for what meds you can take in class C. You can have a baby while taking meds. I hope you get some relief soon..Good luck!

Love always, Jennifer
