Pregnant and needing to stop meds

Caitlin

I just found out I am pregnant. My pdoc has already told me that I can stay on one of my medications if that should happen, but I am also on several others including Lithium. I know Lithium is the bad one. I am really nervous about what he may say when I call. I don’t mind going off and switching to something else, however my depression and anxiety have been severe lately. I don’t know how I can survive so much time with nothing to help me sleep especially. Has anyone had success through pregnancy after switching to safer meds? My entire plan to get through this was to attend support groups. I worked hard to acquire a weeks worth of groups I could go to to get myself moving. Obviously none of that can happen now so I am afraid.
