well there are tons of meds you can try besides depakote and still remain stable. i unfortunately dont know of what med you can take when you are preganant. mostly i hear that people go off their mood stabilizers when getting pregnant and it is a difficult nine months for them. i think there are certain antidpressants that are safe. your doc would know what works and doesnt. hopefully people who have experienced this would know. maybe posting it in the womans support forum might get you more answers,
