Yesterday I started lamictal, my pdoc did more research and felt comfortable prescribing it to me while breastfeeding now that my son is 6 months old. We'll be building it up slower than usual though.

I'm very pleased and relieved about this, and just wanted to share in case anyone else was in my position of being bipolar and breastfeeding. This has been a worry for me since I found out I was pregnant, so I'm glad I got to this point without going full-crazy.
