All the medications you are taking
(Depakote, Seroquel, Lamictal, Albuterol
Inhaler) are considered teratogenic,
especially the Depakote (Valproic acid)
and Lamictal (Lamitrigine). There is a
chance you can conceive but there is a
risk that the embryo could be damaged by
these medicines. Conversely, if you stop
taking the medicines your disease will get
worse. In cases like yours pregnancy is
not recommended...but you may also consult
a gynecologist and psychiatrist for an
expert opinion.
