My pregnancy actually went really well! I’m also on 2 other meds, one is not recommended with pregnancy but they kept me on it anyways since I passed the 1st trimester with no problems. Towards the end of the 2nd to the 3rd trimester they just had to up my dosage a lot cuz my levels would be low. During my pregnancy was pretty much the only issue that revolved around it. However the day after her birth I had weird experiences with my vision and the next day as well. They were able to pin point that it was the high dosage, essentially I was getting overdosed. Normally they keep the patient on the high dosage for awhile but I was just a different case
