Schizoaffective and Pregnancy

Women with mental disorders and carrying a healthy baby. How did you manage with tapering off medication in order to fall pregnant, if possible without medication?

Hi @Violacorso

Since everybody responds differently to starting and tapering off medication, it might be best to work alongside your GP to answer these questions. You may also like to contact the PANDA helpline (1300 726 306) who can help you find a specialist professional in addition to talking to you about any concerns or fears you might have about having a baby. @PANDA

Here is another thread that discusses a similar issue.

Hey @Violacorso how did you go with it? Did you manage to get in touch with your GP or PANDA?
