I'm trying to do research on meds during pregnancy. My gynecologist says I should at least be off lithium, my pdoc tried to change my meds radically and mentally hurt me, and my general doctor says I should completely quit my medication all together. I'm trying to do my own research on the topic and there is conflicting information.

My current medication;
Lithium
Fanapt
Trileptal
Wellbutrin
Kolonopin PRN

My thoughts:
Change my mood stabilizer to Lamictal which has studies showing it is safe, I also used to take this med and it worked (I don't know why they changed it on me)
Change antip to Latuda which has a class B pregnancy rating
Several things I have read suggest Lithium is not as dangerous as once thought
Get rid of Trileptal because everything says it is dangerous
Wellbutrin I've read conflicting things about

i was told to come off klonopin while pregnant.

i would trust my docs, particularly the OB. however, if you aren't sure, you can ask for second opinions, but i'd stick with say an OB or pdoc since they are more likely to have the experience. just my 2c.

I found it very difficult to get good information. There also can be a lot of judgement about the decision to take meds during pregnancy.

I would recommend consultations with multiple doctors. I ended up talking to 3 pdocs and 2 OB's. My OB's biggest thing was to be on only one medication. What we ended up doing was using lamictal. It worked okay, although not as well as my favorite Abilify. But lamictal has good safety research.

Good luck!
