Hi:
Lauren Slater, in the anthology "Unholy Ghost" (a collection of stories written by people suffering from mental illness..which includes Lauren's story) talks about the risks not only to the child, but to the mother if you decide to go off your medications. Remember, you risk relapsing, and the stress you encounter could even do more harm than good. Now, there are specific maternal doctors who can help you out with psych. meds and pregnancy. There is more than one risk, as you know, so I honestly think you should seek a number of competent, professional opinions before choosing to stop medication.
Best wishes,
Jay
