Lamotrigine is category C, lithium can be safe in low doses, and NAC is safe at any recommened dose. I don't see any reason why one would need to go entirely off meds. There isn't really ever a right time to have a baby, so just have one.
Some of these things, vitamin C, D3, E, and folic acid for instance, should be taken regardless as they're beneficial to the baby. The pharmaceutical industry has trained doctors to think that only prescription drugs can treat illness, but this is far from the truth. Many options are available, consult a board certified psychiatrist who is educated in complementary medicine.
