Judy, I think you need to weigh the risks of some of the meds affecting your baby with the risks of your baby being affected by all the stress hormones you're making right now feeling so bad. At this stage of pregnancy, the meds wouldn't affect your baby's development at all & the stress hormones may be the worse of the two.
Maybe some sort of balance between the two can be reached? Hang on please, sweetie. I know there's lots of us rooting for you & your little one.

I'm rooting for you, judy. My pdoc seemed to think Depakote in the last trimester was o.k.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. If I remember correctly, it is almost your due date. So it really won't be much longer. I know it's hard with your history, but I really think it's important to try and trust your doctors at this point. They really do have your best interests and your baby's best interests in mind. They wouldn't suggest anything that would hurt the baby.
Take care of yourself.
Dinah

Dear Judy,
I've been wondering how you were doing. We are cheering for you. I agree with Dinah. Trust your docs at this point.
Continued prayers
