Hi Sharla,

I'm sorry Abilify didn't work out. Akathisia sucks.

The Lamictal will be fine.

In all pregnanices there are some risks, so don't panic over this. Lamictal is actually a fairly benign drug compared to many. It increases the risk of cleft palate, yes, but not by that much compared to the general population. The additional folic acid that your prenatal vitamins provide will help decrease the risk of cleft palate.

It sure is good to see you. How are you doing now that you are back in your skin?

(((hugs)))
