Help, I am pregnant!

I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant, probably around 4-5 weeks. I just had a baby on July 26, 2005 and stopped breastfeeding him at the end of January. I went to my psychiatrist on Thursday last week and got a prescription for Lamictal and Lexapro, each the lowest dosage. I took both on Thursday, took the Lexapo on Friday and both again Saturday. I did not take any yesterday when I found out. I am back to taking my Zoloft which I know is ok during pregnancy. Do you think I could've hurt the baby by taking this little amount? I am sure some people have gotten pregnant on full doses of their medication-- I hope I am just being a worry wart!!!

Thanks for your help!

Hi Sondra !!!


While we are not doctors ourselves, imo I think you'll be fine.

a HUGE percent of pregnancies aren't planned & even MORE women are taking SOMETHING before they find out.
just to make you feel better..i was taking lithium & prozac when i conceived...i also went to a couple of parties & drank & smoked.later in the pg i developed a sinus infection that could only be controlled w/ heavy duty medication.

I'm sure the couple of doses you took aren't enough to cause any problems, but I'd definitelt talk with your pdoc, if you haven't done so by now.


Also take a look in the very last section, for a bit on AD's & pregnancy.
