I've been a Psychotic Depressive for several years now, and take various medications to help me. I take an anti-depressant, a mood stabiliser, an anti-psychotic drug and an anti-parkinson's drug to combat any side effects from these medications.

Without them, I am a complete mess and a danger to myself and others. Yet my doctor and my friend who is a CPN told me that if I want to have a baby without any physical defects I will have to stop taking ALL my medication for the duration of the pregnancy.

I am very scared that I would be sectioned if I came off all my meds for even a short amount of time and also have the baby taken away from me, which my doctor and my friend have said is highly likely due to my mental health situation.

My boyfriend wants us to have a baby at some point in the future, but I will have to be on these medications for the rest of my life. What can I do?

I would talk to your Drs more about you wanting to have a baby.
There has to be some way you could do it. I'm sure there are meds out there that are safe for the baby. They may not be as "good" as yours are but at least you would be getting something and still keep the baby safe. Good luck!
