Your best bet is to consult your family physician. During pregnancy your body goes through a lot of hormonal change that your meds might have to be adjusted. Not all anti-depressants are harmful during pregnancy. Some that are harmful are Paxil, Lexapro & Lamictial. As I stated before you must consult you family physian as soon as possible. You do not WANT to go into a eposed.

You REALLY need to talk to the person who gave you the prescription before discontinuing medication for bipolar disorder as well as your ob/gyn.
