any mom's here bipolar? were you on meds through your pregnancy? they put me on antidepressants instead of mood stabilizers and I'm not sure if it's just that my pregnancy hormones are much worse with this pregnancy or I need stronger/ different meds. any input is appreciated(:
I worked with my MD to get off meds when I got engaged. Since I also have PCOS it took 2 years to conceive and I was just taking seroquel for sleep/mania until i found out I'm pregnant. For the last 6 months I can sleep all day! So fatigued in this pregnancy because I'm now anemic and doubled up on iron
I don't recommend taking antidepressants during pregnancy. My sister is bi-polar and was taken off her meds but her doctor kept her on a antidepressants and he son had withdraws after delivery):
I'm bipolar and have a few other disorders but I got off all my meds , made sure I had a good support system and have a minimum of 15min in the sun per day
if I go off my meds I get suicidal within a couple days. I hallucinate and have almost constant panic attacks.
I'm bipolar and haven't taken anything during pregnancy. I just medidate and exercise.
Is there any ladies out there who's pregnant and taking psych meds? If so, what meds are you still taking and have they affected your pregnancy in anyway? I'm taking Cymbalta, trazodone, Ambien, Klonopin, Lamictal, perphenazine and Remeron.
Any recommended apps to track my pregnancy please?☺️
had all my kids natural no pain meds at all and plan to do it with this baby did any mommies have baby natural No pain meds ?
Do any of you mommas have hypothyroidism? I have it, but have been on medicine for years and my levels are always good when they check at the dr. But jw if anybody else has to take meds for it through pregnancy?
Can I hear anyone’s experience with Zoloft? My doctor just prescribed me Zoloft to deal with my anxiety. I’m very nervous to be on meds, I’ve never been on any type of meds like this.
guys, I can't go off my meds.. it's great that it's not recommended but I can't mentally handle being unmedicated. i just wanted to know if anyone stayed on mood stabilizers through the pregnancy and if they know of any safe ones.
