Hi, sorry for my bad english, i speak french.
My depression is resistant to any antidepressant taken alone, so i have to increase AD effect with lithium.
But i plan to be pregnant in the next few weeks, which is not allowed with lithium. If i stop lithium now, i can't work, and it could take mounths before i succeed in being pregnant. And i can be aware of my pregnancy only 2 to 4 weeks after the beginning.
So my question is, is it really too late after 2-4 week after beginning of pregnancy to stop lithium ? Is lithium very risky for the baby ?
And is it risky to stop it abruptly when i know i'm pregnant ?Tanks to any opinion or experience.
