Listen to you doctor regarding medications and their possible consequences. It is very important that you do this.
You are faced with some very difficult decisions.
I wish you the very best.

I was born 26 years ago and my mother had to be hospitalized for the majority of the pregnancy. She recieved shock therapy and that was it. Hopefully treatment has advanced since then, but unfortunately it probably has not and your unborn baby probably wouldn't be as fortunate.
If you are as with it as you claim to be, then maybe you would survive the nine months without medication. If you would have trouble taking care of yourself and your children without medications, then perhaps you should focus on the family that you already have and get married before you explore these options.
I really do wish you the best and hope that you make good decisions.

I am looking for the same information! I am going to be pregnant hopefully soon and I am not looking forward to being sick, however, I would rather be sick a little while and have a child as to not have one period! My man is willing to help me while I am pregnant and if I am not capable as soon as the baby is born he will take care of him or her I have discussed this with him..So if there is some meds that I could take it would be nice!
My Doc always stresses that I should have birthcontrol with the one med I do take before he was'nt concerned..
This is why I believe that some antipsychotic(neuroleptics) are formulated to mess with prolactin and other child bearing potentials on purpose! I am thinking about not taking any type of meds for a while and try to get pregnant its a wait and see thing..
I hope that those meds have not ruined my life and left me barren. That would really make me Mad, I would quit taking them altogether! And I would try to warn people against them, of course!
