I truly hope you didn't stop all those meds w/o tapering first, because if you didn't taper that could explain a lot of your symptoms now. I have a diagnosis of bp1 and panic disorder and treated episodes during my last pregnancy. Depending on the severity I took the older APs (like haldol) for mania, and pretty much stayed on klonopin during much of the pregnancy. My 1 year old is perfectly normal. The only meds that are linked-maybe 3% abnormalities-are the AEDs (like depakote) and I only had to take that maybe a week? during my pregnancy. It is a lot worse on the fetus to have severe anxiety then to take benzos (that from my pdoc and ob/gyn) take care, judy
