dear butterflies:

well hello there, i'm magdalen (tiffany), i'm bipolar I, and i've decided to try to get pregnant.

i take Depakote and will be meeting with a psychiatrist next week to talk about other options.

so in general, what advice would you give a fellow bipolar in this situation? is it worth it? are we too crazy to reproduce? is it scary going off meds for pregnancy? did any of you stay on meds during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
