b2c,
Sorry you are feeling so crappy. My guess is that between the preg hormones (which are no joke) and being off meds, your mind has little to buffer it from stress and some of the old, darker thoughts and feelings. The fact that you have been able to identify such a clear daily pattern for your moods is consistent with at least some biochemical component. And then your DH is feeling pissy because of the economy and other things. Not a mix that would make anyone feel good :(
I think there are a good number of A/Ds that can be used safely in pregnancy. I used wellbutrin throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding and I'm glad I did. Controlling your mood can also be important for the baby inside you, so it's not necessarily the best to forego meds that you need. Did your doctor tell you to go off them?
If so, did he/she offer some suggestions as to what you could use for mood disorder?Hope you're feeling better soon, sweetie.
