Research Notes on Pregnancy and Bipolar Disorder
It is a delicate balance to manage a bipolar disorder while pregnant. Many women are concerned about the effect of bipolar medications on the fetus. Pregnancy often will increase symptoms of bipolar disorder.1
Fast Facts:
- Lithium, Haldol, and Thorazine, which are mood stabilizers, pose minimal risks to the fetus.1
- Depakote and Tegretol, which are anticonvulsants, pose harmful risks to the fetus.1
- Always talk to your psychiatrist before you try to conceive.1
