In reply to lithium and pregnancy PLEASE answer, posted by Sigolène on July 4, 2001, at 14:37:47

>motherisk on-line - Your source for evidence-based information about the safety or risk of drugs, chemicals and disease during pregnancy and lactation. http://www.motherisk.org/ There's a ph.# to contact directly on the site
They will inform you of the most recent studies & data regarding safety of lithium in pregnency. I believe there's a toll free contact number as well... Please, call them

Hope this helps you.

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 ?
