In reply to Kramer - Lamictal and pregnancy?, posted by Cindy Lou on April 2, 2002, at 6:55:48
Hi again,
I forgot to ask you about SAM-e -- I've been reading about it on this board.I was wondering --
1. Is it worth a shot to try it with my current combo?
2. Is there any reason I should NOT try it?
3. Seeing as I am very med-sensitive, are there certain side effects of SAM-e?
4. Can it help with fatigue?
5. Is it safe during pregnancy?
Thanks again,

> I am currently taking 80 mg of Lamictal -- I am very med sensitive and need to take small doses of meds, although I am trying to increase it. I also take a small amount of Klonapin at night (1/4 to 1/2 of a .25 mg tablet), and about 2.5 mg of Prozac every few days -- sounds crazy, I know, but I can't tolerate any more than that!

> My main question is, can I still take these meds while pregnant? My husband and I hope to have another baby ... I had very bad post-partum depression/anxiety after my first. I also have long-term chronic depression (and have recently been re-diagnosed as BPII). I am doing just okay .. but keeping my head above water.
