> I am bipolar I with psychosis and trying to wean off my meds to get pregnant...most importantly lamictal...I am down to 50 mg and having rapid cycling again...i am crying and getting manic within minutes of each other...I will NOT GIVE UP MY RIGHT TO HAVE A BABY OF MY OWN...but I don't know how to do it safely...i think i will end up in the hospital eventually but right now i just feel very sad...not suicidal but it has happened before. i am also ocd and cannot stop worrying despite celexa
This may not be a popular suggestion, but ECT is
considered safe during pregnancy and often works
for mania... It is scary to think of though. But
after reading some other peoples comments on this
page, it doesn't seem completely terrifying...Sean.
