I have been on them before i was ever diagnosed with bipolar.My psyc called me today and will be prescribing me different medication.I am having a baby so it has to be classed a type 1 medication to be safe for the baby.He said i must not take anything until i see my doctor and get a referral to a neurologist to see that everything is ok with the baby as they are highly dangerous to a foetus in the first trimester of preg.I will try the advice i got from garden as it is unlikley i can be prescribed something to help my mania while i am pregnant as they usually all are anti-epileptic drugs so they affect the neural tube.

it works really well for me and I don't do anything else very often.. it might not be a good idea to stop taking meds for bipolar, can mess you up pretty bad without meds sometimes
that is what they are there for, to help treat it. not make things worse
