Stopping meds & having a hard time

Hello all. Briefly... I'm slowly stopping meds because my husband and I want a second child. Our daughter is 7. I'm 34 he's 43.

Anyways, with my drs supervision, I'm down to 25 mg of topamax. Next next is to quit altogether.

However, I can feel the difference. I didn't realize this would be so tough. I have dragged myself to work this whole week, and today I just plain don't want to get out of bed.

Last night for the first time I thought, I don't know if I can do this. How many other people in the world have kids like it's no big deal, and this is such a major issue for me. Do I give up my dream of having a baby? Do I grin and bear it? I'm at a low point right now.

Hang on in there it will all be worth it when you have your beautiful baby. You may find like me once you catch you are completely stable and if it gets too much you can always switch to a med that is safe in pregnancy. Good luck hope you catch soon.

This is a really hard thing that you're doing, but it's worth it. If you have a good therapist/psychologist/counsellor to see on a regular basis that might help. You shouldn't have to cope with these feelings alone. Husbands can be great help but they have their limitations.
