Hi,
Just found out i'm pregnant . I'm afraid to take my litihum because of possible birth defects but i'm also afraid that i'm not taking my medication for obvious reasons. I know i have to see my doctor ASAP but untill then any advice from someone who has been in this situation ? I'm really happy that i am pregnant but the risks are weighing on me right now. This is my third night without meds and i probably won't get to see my doctor for another 5 or 6 days.
Thanks,
Milla
Mila, my girlfriends daughter (bipolar) had a baby ay 19...she had to stop all her meds during the pregnancy...got thru the pregnancy. baby was fine and went right back on all her meds.....good luck and god bless.
Can you place a call to your doctor or his/her assistant so that he/she could answer your question and call you back? I know that my doctor and his assistant do things like this regulary. Just an idea. Then that would help you be able to relax about things.
Update:
Turns out I was not pregnant at this time. If I was it was not for long so I guess we'll call it a false positive on the preg test.
I have an 8 week old girl now though !!
