Hi, taking seraquel will not affect a pregnancy test. I know I had a baby while taking the medication.

I was diag with bipolar after my first child. I was sooo sick that I had to be hospitalized. I was on my way to recovery and was taking 200 mg of seraquel and 300 mg of lamictal. We were not trying to get pregnant.

I knew I was pregnant and took a test and it was negative, so I took another 2 days later and it was positive.

If you are pregnant contact your OBGYN ASAP.

I was told that when I was pregnant I was one of approx a dozen woman ever to get pregnant while on the drug because it was only on the market for a few years.

I lowered my doze to 175 seraquel and kept the lamictal becuase it was safer for pregnancy. I continued all of my meds. My pregnancy was carefully watched, including size and growth due to studys on animals. I was doing well, so we lowered my seraquel several times slowly untill I got to 100 mgs and my lamictal was lowered to 150mg.

My baby is almost one and doing great. I am not back up on my meds and doing great also.

I would love to have more children, but I know in my heart it may not be safe. Unitll I know it is safe for everyone and not that I was lucky I will not try to have another baby.
