im not planning to have a baby any time soon im just curious as to what i would do.I'm on antipsychotic, antidepressants and beta blockers, if i did get pregnant what would i do about my meds, is it safe to carry on my meds, would it hurt the baby. i know if i came off them i would be climbing the walls and get really ill.

You'd have to see a doctor, some of those meds are not good to take while pregnant, there are alternatives, but as you probably know it is hard to get your dosage right when you change meds

Docs usually dont advise people that cannot get on normally without tablets to get pregnant.

Yes they do take you of all medications and if you are unstable the child would be taken of you as soon as it was to be born.

I advise you sit down and have a chat with your doc about this.

Yeah, talk to the doctor.
