This is another question for Mr. McManhany about my pregnant daughter.
Thank you for responding to my question. I should have told you she is taking Trileptal (450 mg) 2 times a day and she is taking Lexapro. I don't know what strength but I do know it's a strong dose. Can Trileptal have the same effect as taking Depacote? or Lexapro have bad effects too. Please respond as soon as possible, I am so worried!! Thank you for answering. I'm having a hard time finding exact information on these meds as they relate to pregnancy.
Hi, Blondie. Here's a link to an article I wrote on my website:

I can't comment on Trileptal. It is what they call an analogue (chemically related) of Tegretol, and the Tegretol info is in the article. The Lexapro falls under SSRI antidepressants. Note, I'm not a doctor. I trust the article will ease your mind, but again your daughter needs to be talking to both her regular doc and her psychiatrist.
