I currently take 200 mg of Lamotragine and 2 mg of Rexulti (Brexpiprazole) for my Bipolar 2. I’m 37 weeks pregnant and will be delivering soon.
I tried breastfeeding my last baby (When I was on a dose of 400 mg lamotragine and 2 mg Rexulti) but she had a terrible diaper rash that was not healing so I switched her to 100% formula at 1 month. From what I read in these Forums, she may have had an allergy to the lamotragine.
Does every baby have an allergy to lamotragine? Perhaps this child won’t this time around, and also perhaps because I’m on half the dose?
Also, is there any research available at all about the effects of Rexulti either in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
thank you.
