Hello
New here, and have yet to introduce myself, but will get around to that. I don?t have TS, but my wife does. Since about 4 years she has been taking 4mg Orap to help control her Tics. in December became pregnant by surprise and attempted to take herself off Orap, in one go, to not very positive results.
Our Psy. has suggested that she continue (we are now at month 6) with 6mg of Orap. In the first three months of the pregnancy, she was taking up to 2mg of Clonazepam at night. I am a little concerned because Cl. is contra-indicated and the research concerning Orap and pregnancy is, at best, sketchy. Even the helpdesk of the manufacturers here in Brasil siad taht they didn?t know. The good news is that, so far, every Ultrasound has come back absolutely perfect.
Is there a doctor in the forum who would be able to tell me if 6mg of Orap is "a lot"? Are there any mums with TS who took Orap during the pregnancy?
All responses gratefully received.
