I've never heard that from my pdocs and he never brought that up when I wanted to come off meds. He just said I'll relapse and can go back on them, but it's not an off switch, it'll take time for them to work again, like a few weeks.

I'm the type that I wouldn't choose any risk to my baby. And I think any parent would see it the same way, baby comes first. I'd be in a lot worse shape if I took AP's and the baby was in pain in one way or another, I couldn't live with that. But that's just me, I'm not dictating what anyone else should do.
The problem is during my first break things were a lot worse, for example I thought I had a transmitter in my tooth and was very close to breaking them all out with a hammer----I'm not sure what stopped me from doing it TBH and my pdoc doesn't know either. What if I started getting weird feelings about the baby and hurt it in some way, it's unfathomable and yet it could happen. To me that's worse than a low dose of med I've been taking safely for 3+ years.
