I've been doing a little reading that's related to that topic; pretty much, you have to weigh the potential risks of any damage to the baby versus dealing with your bi-polar disorder without medications for a while, or just not having a baby.
For more information, I would recommend checking out the websites for Lithium and Effexor, checking out possible forums where real people discuss them, and asking a doctor.

i don't know... but pregnancy/childbirth/having children can make you batshat crazy, so if you already DO have mental issues (as i do), it would NOT be advisable to go off your meds!!!!
