Pregnancy question

[suzanita]

Hi. I have been hearing voices for a few years now. I do not have any other signs of schizophrenia or other mental illness. I currently take Risperdal and go back and forth with different medications. I'm planning to get married very soon and get pregnant. The problem is, if I go off the meds, the voices will be louder and I will be annoyed and probably be unable to  sleep so I dont know what to do. All I want is a healthy baby. Does anyone know what the percentage in risk it is to have a baby on meds? I also must mention I take a very tiny dose and it works for me. I've heard about magnet therapy and heard that it can take away the voices for a few months but I dont know where to go for that or if my insurance will cover it. Please help! Thanks!!!!!!

this is too important a question to try to answer here. You should go to psychopharmacologist in some nearby university center.  Ask your doctor for a referral. It is very likely that your insurance will cover that consultation.
