It's really rotten that you're having problems with the medications. I wish I had some sage advice for you. I was lucky that my major depression reappeared as an adult postpartum, so I didn't have to worry about that aspect. Pregnancy was actually a very stable time for me. The trap door into depression flew out from under me at almost the moment of birth. Hormones!
It sounds like a very frustrating experience. Do you have a good therapist? Or are you lucky enough to have a very supportive husband? And of course you have us. :) Withdrawal from mood stabilizers can be, well, destabilizing. It's important to have good support.
Keep in touch.
