Can I get pregnant while on medication for depression, anxiety, panic attacks and having bipolar disorder?
You can get pregnant while on medication, but there are risks and benefits that you should be aware of before you get pregnant. The decision about medication depends on the severity of your illnesses, which medications have been effective for you, and what alternative treatments have been effective for you. This is really a complex set of decisions that you should make carefully with your psychiatrist and, if possible, your obstetrician.
