abilify

390140 tn?1219883889 I would speak to your psychiatrist about it. Abilify and other antipsychotics don't usually cause speech defects. If its just cognitive confusion then that can happen and is not of concern. If it is tic like and does not come and go when you take the medication but occurs all the time and started suddenly that would be. But explain to your psychiatrist exactly what is, when and how it started and they can give you a better explanation as to what to do from there.
Avatar f tn Teratogen exposure in the 1st trimester can be linked to congenital birth defects.
Avatar f tn How does birth defects happen is it in the family blood? Or what you eat or if you get hurt? I'm suppose to have my very first baby check up Aug 1 I'm 7weeks tomorrow and I just don't want nothing happening to my baby I'm scared to death I'm pretty sure it's to early to determine the baby has birth defects since I'm not to far along but I'll be 13 weeks when I see the doctor.
Avatar n tn Ladies im really concerned and cant get excited because im scared ive caused birth defects to my baby. Before I knew I was taking chinese herbs and also had a typhoid inj as I was goin to bali. I stopped the herbs at 4 weeks but wudda been after implantation. I had the vax the day before ovulation but heard the vax stays in ur system for 14 days. Anyone else worried about medications they been taking or have any advice? I just cry and cant b happy.
Avatar n tn Her surgerian told me whenever i was to get pregnant again i had to drink a higher dosis of folic acid to prevent birth defects, my ob prescribed me folic acid in pills which i have to take 4 of them every day im not taking no vitamins since he didnt prescribed none to me. I have to say im really concern about this pregnancy im so worried. Idk if any of you ladies had gone through something similar to this.
Avatar f tn Yeah, milk is definitely not necessary for anyone to drink. If you're worried about calcium Google "foods high in calcium" and you'll see many other options. As the ladies said above, soda isn't necessarily going to cause birth defects, but high sugar intake is not nourishing for mom or baby. I looked it up once and 4gms of sugar is about 1 tsp so one can of Mountain Dew, with 46gms of sug has ELEVEN teaspoons of sugar in it. One can! It's crazy!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed bi polar a couple years ago. I took my Meds (seroquil and celexa) everyday and did therapy regularly. When I found out I was pregnant the Drs took me off all my Meds because of potential birth defects. Now I'm so moody, depressed, crying a lot, and just feeling deflated. I was wondering if this is because of the pregnancy or am I having my symptoms return? Anyone else Going through the same thing?
Avatar n tn I have been taking depakote and ablilify for a few months now, and also just found out I am eight weeks pregnant. The pregnancy was unplanned and I kept taking the eds up until the 7th week, because I didn't know I was pregnant. I am now nervous to nhave this baby, because of the risks of birth defects. What are the chances it could happen? Should I have this baby? Am I over reacting?
Avatar f tn My first cghild was born with a birth defects does that mean the one im carrying gone to come out with the same??
Avatar f tn I can see no connection between your taking Bendectin and your Daughter now having Breast Cancer since birth defects were at the time the main concern regarding the drug rather than far reaching complications. For your information in case you were not aware the drug has been approved by the FDA and is returning under a different name after being discontinued some 30 years ago.
Avatar f tn Have any of you ladies ate mcdonalds during your pregnancy and your baby came out fine? I'm hearing about mcdonalds having ingredients in their food that can give your baby birth defects /: and I loveee mcdonalds especially their Mcdoubles Fries & egg Mcmuffins. Is this truee?
Avatar n tn There is VERY little evidence that the hormones in the birth control pill will cause birth defects. The birth defect hype came from the drugs that were given to women who were ALREADY pregnant, to stop miscarriages. Don't stop taking the pill until a pregnancy is confirmed. It will not damage the zygote.
Avatar n tn you would have to have an u/s and tests done through out the pregnancy to keep an eye on the baby. but there are higher odds of the baby having birth defects if its parents are blood related than if they were not blood related.
Avatar f tn Is my baby going to have any birth defects if I am three weeks pregnant today but got my depo shot 2 weeks ago.???
Avatar m tn Also O positive is a very common blood group and it is easy to find many parents having this blood group with out any birth defects in the family. Many genetic problems also come from marriage between close relatives.
Avatar n tn Isotretinoin is a teratogen and is highly likely to cause birth defects if taken during pregnancy. A few of the more common birth defects that this drug can cause are hearing and visual impairment, missing earlobes, facial dysmorphism, and mental retardation. Isotretinoin's use is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Avatar f tn anyone have a baby or is going to have a baby with gentetic defects and has gone through this scary testing?
1439597 tn?1283966253 I would like to comment on the use of the fertility drug, Clomid, for those women who were curious about the risk of birth defects, and give them the benefit of my 30+ years of research in the subject. Clomid has a long half-life and is biologically active up to 54 days after it is ingested. It is thus present during the development of the embryo, even when the drug was taken prior to conception.
Avatar n tn Will the risk of birth abnormalities decrease if she is off ANY/ALL medication prior to getting pregnant? Decrease as in: a “normal” person (without epilepsy)… Are/is there medication(s) that do not risk birth defects? How exactly does “epilepsy medication” work?
Avatar m tn So it would be safe to say that a woman of child bearing years would go through six menstrual cycles during that time thus reducing the risk of birth defects? Hum… interesting. How dose the research and pharmaceutical community come up with that determination as to the ear mark or low risk of birth defects?
Avatar f tn how long have you been taking the birth control? it takes AT LEAST one month of taking the birth control for it to become effective..so if it's been less than a month since you started yes you could very well be pregnant and the urine tests are just not sensitive enough yet. I don't think abilify is one you should quit cold turkey, even this soon after starting it, but call your doctor for confirmation on that.
5898681 tn?1392221010 So i read something about Makeup can cause birth defects? Is this true? Like some makeup you use can get into your pores & cause some damage to the baby?
7417215 tn?1403487102 That is a lie. How can sperm cause birth defects? and miscarriages? That's not true.
