The last poster raised a good point as to why you were prescribed an AP, if it was because you have psychotic episodes like I have had then this is what I did when pregnant: I stopped all meds very slowly-except klonopin- (over several months and under constant supervision). I had a very close support group so that if I showed signs of a manic episode (mine sometimes get psychotic), my shrink would be notified right away. If it was really bad when pregnant I took one of the older APs which have a pretty good safety record until all signs of psychosis disappeared. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl 6 months ago. I wish you all the best- judy
