P.S All her kids a healthy and very smart:)
My neighbor had the same problem...Im not sure if she took the same medication but her dr desided that it would be better to keep her on it and that benifits out weighed the ricks. Im not a dr so I cant give you any advice....If your dr thinks it will be fine, I would trust his opinion. If your still not sure get a secound opinion from a diffrent doctor. My neighbor took her meds with all her children and she had 4 kids in 4 years:) Hope this helps:)
Info. from my Nursing Drug Guide attached below...Not safe to take.....not enough testing done.
