I talked with my pdoc. He felt it best if I could manage it, which I agree, to be off my meds. If we believe I need it, I could stay on a low dosage of Lamictal. My OB agreed that it would be the best course if necessary and just take a little more of the Folic acid.

It has been a week since we weaned me off my meds, and so far I feel as if I am doing well. I am not wholly surprised, but I did not expect it to be this easy especially since the last time I did not have my meds, it was more of a disaster. Situation is everything, I guess.

But, I am keeping in very close contact with my pdoc and T to make sure everything is okay. Regular appointments and check-ins. I am taking my vitamins and doing what I can to eat right and stuff. My pdoc also said he would like to help me be able to breast feed as well, if my moods allow it after delivery. So, wishing all things go well so far. Only getting started with a long ways to go, but things are off to a much more promising start than before.

And yes, he did say there were some medications I could take, but there are some medications I cannot take because they will make my moods dangerous. It was a mutual agreement with an lengthy discussion about what I wanted and him going over the medications in detail with me about whether they were safe or not - for both nursing and pregnancy. I am confident in my decision, but we are all wary and keeping a close eye on everything in the process.
