So before I ever became pregnant (and before my loss, and now this pregnancy) I was on a variety of psych meds and had been for years. My psychiatrist at the time once I told him I intended to get pregnant advised me to go cold turkey off my meds--which was awful advice! I instead weaned off the medications and haven't been on anything at all since. And I dont see that psych anymore. Surprisingly I have fared better than I thought! However my sister and I had a talk last night about post partum depression and she worries I will suffer from it after the baby is born due to the fact I have had bi-polar depression in the past. I really DON'T want to go back on meds if I can help it, just my preference...is there anyone out there who has had an experience like mine and wants to share whether they decided to go on meds again or how they did? I know you're not medical experts I'm just curious.
