I HAVE A QUESTION. MY DAUGHTER IS BIPOLAR
AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT SHE IS 3 WEEKS
PREGNANT. SHE TAKES ABILIFY ONCE A DAY.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT HER FETUS WILL
BE AFFECTED BY THIS? SHE'S ONLY 3 WEEKS
PREGNANT AND WILL BE OFF OF THE MEDS AS OF
TODAY.

Bipolar people should not discontinue
their medication without first being
supervised. There are many medications
that can be taken during pregnancy and the
needs of the mother need to be weighed
with the needs of the child.
Please don't say, "NO MEDICATION." if you
clearly have no idea what this person is
going through. She needs to see a MEDICAL
PROFESSIONAL to determine what she needs.

All medications precribed or not should be
cross checked with a doctor for her body
and her case.
p.s. please refrain from using all caps.

I was on abilify for 6 months and when I
thought I was pregnant my doctor told me
to stop my meds but had me go to
counseling once a week so I can update him
on my moods. Some anti-depressants are ok
but not all are.
