It is 3:30am and I can't sleep. I did the worst thing possible and stopped taking my meds a few days ago. I thought since I had my test results in and I didn't have anything that I would be ok, but I am not. Things were good for a little while but this is my second night of not being able to sleep and I am going crazy. My husband and I had been talking about having another baby and I talked to my Dr about it and she said that I would have to be off the Klonopin before I got pregnant. Well, the more I thought about it I decided that if I am going to get pregnant then I don't want to be on any meds at all for the baby's best interest. So I stopped all of them, knowing that you are never supposed to do that. Plus I am on some antibiotics that are making me sick on top of everything else and I just feel like complete shit. I don't know if I can have another baby. I don't know if I am capable of being off my meds that long, and if I stay on them I am going to worry about what they might due to the baby. So I broke down and took half a dose of Effexor and half a dose of Buspar tonight. I am just hoping that I can get some sleep. Tomorrow is my son's first day of preschool and I am freaking out. I keep thinking that something horrible is going to happen to him there. I just want to be normal....this is so unfair.................................
MeghanAnn,Be kind to yourself. You've got a lot going on. Enjoy your son. Call your Dr. and talk about weaning off meds or switching meds which are tolerable during pregnancy. Everything doesn't have to be done at this moment. You and your husband were just talking about having a baby. Do this sensibley. With the support of your Mds you can have success. Being spontaneous isn't the best way to handle all this. I know this isn't fair, but you have to start where you are not where you wish you were. Be honest with your husband, keep him aware of your feelings and let your Mds know what your plans are, you don't have to do this alone. I hope the first day of preschool went well. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'll second hope13. Maybe some of those meds won't hurt a pregnancy at all! Maybe some of them are OK and you just don't have to worry. I hope your day is going well and you get some good sleep tonight.

But back to u ;)..U have to do what's in ur best interest girl..Don't let urself get all worked up and I'm not a dr. but I don't see why u can't be on a low dosage until u do get pregnant..BABY MAURER OF 08 sounds great to me but it's up to u if it's the right time..I think ur just stressin urself out again.
