I want to get off and get pregnant 😬

[TLJ828]

I’ve been on meds for like 10 years.

Basically the same meds, tweaking them from time to time. Currently I am on Wellbutrin 300,

Lexapro, Lamictal, Naltrexone, Topamax, and Birth Control lol awesome...

I was divorced, then happy to stay on meds and be by myself for the rest of my life lol, and I have reunited with a close high school friend who also got divorced, and clicked romantically this time.

I’m 36, almost 37. Not too much time to waste.

He does not take meds at all, thank God lol he is very grounded. I however should eat a sweet potato haha... Bottom line, I went on these things bc of necessity. I started with Lamictal for seizures, alcohol drug related and I had one a few years ago when I wasn’t taking my meds correctly so that I stay on and it’s fine for pregnancy, I already knew that at 19 years old when they put me on.

Then the depression and drinking was insidious and I tried all other antidepressants- nothing helped until Lexapro. It pulled me out of the hole in the floor. Then to balance my sex drive and help with smoking I started Wellbutrin. Then, Naltrexone for drinking. Then Topamax for binge eating boxes of ice cream sandwiches to my face lol. Yes. I’m being honest. And Birth control for obvious reasons.

If I accidentally run out of Lexapro for a few days I am crying,.. everyone at CVS let’s me cut the line LOL it’s ugly.

I am scared. Not looking forward.

Anyone go through this? I am sure...

like I said, I will be 37 in Sept. I have no kids, now or never.

I’m thinking if I start in December... trying for a baby... fuck... that means I have to get my shit together... so scared...

oh and adderall. Forgot to mention.

I told my psychiatrist and he was like no big deal. I am giving myself the summer to get my head straight w these meds. My bf is like I gotta he honest with you, you’re making me nervous blah blah lol

And it makes complete sense... the dr said he couldn’t understand unless he took meds and not even an Internist would really understand.

I’m glad pregnancy doesn’t last forever lol and that there are other things to substitute...

I’m hoping that I won’t be as tired. Getting off a bunch of meds slowly.

Even w Adderall..
