    The best thing to do is ask your doctor. Somebody may accidentally gave you the wrong information which would not be good. For you or the baby

    You are approaching this at the right time before you become expectant. I would strongly advise you talk to your GP. It may be you will be able to reduce dose, however I do not know if it will effect your placenta.

    To come of the drug will take time your GP will assist regards withdrawal etc

    Good Luck

    ok thamks , that's pretty scary to think about I'm barley adjusting to my meds it took a year too. I don't know if I can start over again if I get prego. I just wanted to see if anyone has ever been successful with there meds while prego. but yes I will talk to my doc about it in the future.
