Lamotrigine, when nursing?

I have old baby a 6 month & also have bipolar. I came throughout pregnancy without medication right, but, to suffer from heavy worry after it, seemed. I also began to have mania. Für a while protected my husband I was OK myself, so that my cpn thought, finally however I admitted that I needed meds.

It was made lamotrigine me for rules. My Dr. thinks, thereß es\'s OK, in order to continue nursing, although the brochure says, that you only should nurse, if the benefits outweigh the risks of the side-effects.

How certainly lamotrigine, if working as nurses & it causes weight profit? I was t on sodium valproate, epilim/depakote, and didnnimmt to, but because of the fact thereß I so very much during the pregnancy won, will it not risk her/it Dr. & say that the same effect doesn\'t have lamotrigine?
