Lamictal Pregnancy

Posted by Angielala on February 1, 2005, at 12:28:39

Hola all...

So I just found out that I'm pregnant (it's a good thing, yeah)

I'm on 200mg of Lamictal... not a bad thing...

BUT I cannot find a single doc that will give me direction or advice as to whether I need to adjust my dose or if it's even safe. Truth is, not enough studies have been done.

So I'm all alone with that, wondering if Junior will have three arms or something (I'm keeping it funny, otherwise, I'll go nuts)

I came out of the worst Mania I ever had in December... so going off Lamictal would probably be very bad for me, which means it would be bad for the baby too... and I DO NOT want post pardum depression to be any worse than it already will be (I'm guessing).

I've done online searches- they tell me all different things, ranging from "you are fine, don't worry" to "it's probably better to be off everything" to "no one really knows, so you should register with the Lamictal site and be the guinea pig"

I have been the guinea pig for years- does anyone else think it's sad that babies have to be the guinea pigs too?

Ahhh.... someone pray for me, or something...
