Hello there,
Here's my issue. I'm 4 weeks pregnant and I'm on Lamictal. I came out of a pretty harsh mania about a month ago, and think coming off Lamictal would be a bad idea. My problem, I have yet to find a doctor to give me advice- my psychiatrist and primary care doc both say that they do not know enough to give me any advice as far as taking Lamictal during pregnancy. There are specialists, but none are covered by health insurance and there aren't any around Rhode Island. I'm pretty much stuck without any help.
The internet research I have done all say the same things- there isn't enough human research and they can't say whether or not it's better to stay on or get off of it during pregnancy.
I hate feeling alone and scared about this, and can only imagine how many others feel the same.
Is there any where you can point me?
Thank you,
Angielala
