Pregnancy After Bipolar Medication: Safety & Timeline


Question
How long must await to get pregnant? I have been off my medication( Lamactil 200mg x day for bipolar condition) for more than 60 days. I have been feeling better without my bipolar medication. I currently take Fluoxetine 60mg x day for depression. I am stable now, and would like to become pregnant. I don't want to get pregnant if the bipolar medication that I was taking , will cause harm to the fetus.

Answer
I do not have any information about the risks from bipolar medicine on pregnancy.  Your doctors will help you with that.  It is always a concern to be off your medication when you have a serious condition like bipolar.  I hope you are taking your doctor's advise.  I have nothing to offer.
