I'm in a bad place! I found out I'm pregnant about a month ago. Thankfully I found out super early (3-4 weeks) so I instantly quit my lithium. I'm off everything else (lamictal, clonidine,). Although I have been taking about 5mg ambien about 1-2x per week. But I'm almost out, I have 5 left.

I'm so terrified and feel so put of control. I had an IUD in and we had no intention of more kids. I'm trying to be happy about this pregnancy but I'm so so miserable. I can't function, simple things like cleaning and walking the dog seem so overwhelming. It's the lack of sleep. My primary doctor said unisom & Tylenol pm are ok but the don't seem to be helping much.

I don't know why I'm writing this. I'm not looking for medical advice... Just wondering if someone else has been in my shoes. Did you stay medicated through your pregnancy or no? The psychiatrist I had been seeing gave me a recommendation to a psychiatrist that specializes in pregnancy but I haven't made an appointment yet. It's a ways away from where I live. I know I need to. I feel like I'm sinking! Everything is too much.
