bipolar ??

I'm 10 weeks and going to have my first ultrasound on Monday. I was diagnosed with manic bipolar depression when I was 19. I was 7 weeks pregnant when I found out. And I was talking a mood stabilizer called lamotrigine (200mgs) twice a day... And my mood swings got worse when I was taken off of it.. wondering if there's any suggestions that with help with it.. my fiancee gets upset when I get MOODY....

Find a psych that specializes in women...and pregnancy. I am in Atlanta and see someone great at Emory. I had to get off two of my meds, but stayed on Wellbutrin.  Hang in there.

I don't have any helpful suggestions I'm afraid, but just wanted to wish you the very best of luck! Your own health is important too, so don't go off medication without a good conversation with a doctor you trust.
