This is one of the many reasons why we haven't rushed into treatments. Knowing my mental health history, i'm terrified of how I will handle something like Clomid.
***previous pregnancy mentioned*** You might be surprised. When I was pregnant both times and all the times I've been on clomid while off my bipolar meds I was actually really level. I was terrified that I'd be an even more emotional mess, but my meds were just too dangerous to take when pregnant and I didn't want to mess with trying to find something new for only 9 months. I'm not saying you won't have any side effects, but it doesn't have to be off the wall either just because you have a history. I know it's an anecdote, but I thought you'd like to hear a story from the other side of the coin.
I don't have plans to come off meds as of now. My current combination seems to make me more susceptible to manic episodes. (Stupid Narcolepsy med) I appreciate anecdotes. It helps put things in perspective sometimes.
