My Pdoc told me that I will need to be on meds long-term. I even asked if I could go off all my meds once I get pregnant, just during the first 4-8 weeks because that's the time when most birth defects occur. She said no, it's too risky. Even my Latuda is causing some nasty side effects (nausea and Tardive dyskinesia), and she doesn't want me off of it so I have to take another med for the Tardive dyskinesia and suffer with the nausea. I wish I didn't have to take so many meds, but at least they work. I'm stable on them and no longer suffer from SI and SUI thoughts.
