Just saw my pdoc----I asked her what my official diagnosis is she said I'm either bipolar I with psychotic features or sza bipolar type. I also asked her about pregnancy and she said it was such a high risk period that I would have to remain medicated and with each relapse without medicine I will have increased my chances of becoming treatment resistant. She also felt that latuda was only category B because it was so new that there weren't adequate tests done so I might as well stick with abilify although if I wanted to switch to tell her and we'd do it 4 months before trying to get pregnant. She also told me she's had patients who have had babies on abilify and they turned out fine but that again it was a limited data set. All in all I think its a good thing----I can just stay on the med I'm stable with and that's the best I can do. Also I told her if I'm bipolar I must have the lowest number of meds etc, she said that's another reason not to change anything.
