I am pregant and I stayed ON most of my meds. For me, the benefits outweighed the risks. I certainly did not want to go on a manic spree with a fetus and do something unthinkable. As for handling a new job plus thinking of going off meds, I agree with previous post that asked if you had thought about starting the job first and then work on the medication issue.

I'd really do some research on your medications and pregnancy before just quitting them as Bipolar episodes can be more dangerous than the risk a medication can be to the fetus. Be well
