on seven psychotropic s: advice re pregnancy, subs

Posted by croy on March 5, 2007, at 9:20:31

Is anyone else on near this many meds?

I take Lamictal, Trileptal, Celexa, Abilify, Ativan (prn), Synthroid, and Adderall.

side effects of all these (can't tease out which is causing what): dry mouth, confusion and word-finding problems, significant weight gain, severe fatigue and somnolence (that's what adderall is supposed to help), hand tremors, and really excessive sweating.

I want to get pregnant soon and am 37 so the clock is ticking. I'm so afraid of what will happen to my mood when I taper off and then have no medication support. Has anyone successfully done this? Does anyone know if any of these are okay in pregnancy? Are any substitutions okay in pregnancy? Has anyone stayed on any of these while pregnant?
