Ali,

I take Lamictal (50 mg) and Lexapro (10 mg) along with PRN Klonopin. I'm also worried about the interaction for pregnancy. We aren't doing fertility treatments yet, but perhaps next year. I'm going to stay on my meds. Lamictal does have a cleft-palate risk...and I know this is horrible of me, but I need to be stable...and there's always surgery. I'm horrible. I think you should talk to your doc, but there is article after article that says it's worse for a baby if the mother is in a very bad emotional state than it is just to take the meds.

I think you should make sure you're stable...that's way important during pregnancy. You'll already be dealing with hormonal ups and downs.

Just my two cents.
