Currently take 25 mg of Seroquel every night, not a whole lot, but enough to work…unfortunately, also enough to cause birth defects.

that is considered safe?

what types of antidepressants are good for depression when you are pregnant? that are safe and wont harm the baby? im looking for answers from people with experience dealing with a pregnancy counselor who felt like they needed meds for it too.

My friend recently found out she was about 7 weeks pregnant. Her OB/GYN doc stopped all her anti-depressant medications. She is super depressed, but doc still says no anti-depressant medications. Her mother & her ex-husband (father of her older child) have died within the last 11 months. I try to encourage & go do fun female stuff with her but she just stays depressed. Are there any anti-depressant medications for pregnancy?

I have got to find out! i feel like i am boxed in and going crazy! right after i found out i was pregnant, i found out my mom had brain tumors that was caused by stage 4 lung cancer. they’ve told her last week she has a year give or take to live….i feel like i am going crazy, but trying to not break down knowing it wont help my mom….is there any kind of anxiety medication safe to use during pregnancy?

I have been on my medication for 4 years now. I tried to get off of them because my husband and I want a baby. I realized how important for my function it was to be on the medication. I am on Effexor now on the lowest dose and take it every other day. I am not too happy with the research that has been done. Does anyone have a better idea? Please help me!

I am possibly pregnant and I have been on anxiety medication for 5 months. Before anyone says ask your doctor, Dont worry I am but has anyone on here gone through there pregnancy on anxiety or anti depression pills and everything turned out fine?
I am on a generic form of Celexa
Celexa is also used for anxiety not just depression.

There’s a possibility I will become pregnant, but will not find out until around Nov. 19th.

I suffer from Anxiety / Depression along w/ acne. I was going to start Fluoxetine [Prozac] for Anxiety / Depression and Cefadroxil [Duricef] for acne as soon as possible, to start feeling better.

If I start the medications now, will I lessen the chance of getting pregnant? Or if I’m pregnant, the medications will cause me to possibly miscarry?

i had prenatal depression before i gave birth 12 weeks ago which in turn has turned into post natal depression. My GP has put me on Citalopram tablets which dont appear to be working for me. As my mam put it i am high as a kite, almost hysterical, one day and need to be scraped off the ground the next. Is there anybody who is either qualified in this field or anybody who has been or is in this situation that can help me as i am trying to be the best mother and wife that i can but my state of mind is letting me down. Any helpful serious answers would be appreciated.

Ok, I was on .5 mg of Clonazepam for 9 months for anxiety and depression, I had barely started to taper, and found out I was pregnant and called my psychologist and he said cold turkey. Well at first I was fine except for shaking and muscle twitches but then 12 days later all hell broke loose. I started doubting being pregnant, begged God for a misscarriage, threw things at walls, starting hitting little things when I got mad, and had WAY to much energy. I didn’t trust myself alone. It’s like one minute I’m laughing, then crying, then I’m extremely pissed off. So I would just go for nice long walks, exercise, take hot showers, naps, and then all of a sudden I wanted to commit suicide, so I called the Dr and he got me in right away and told me it’s just depression and gave me an antidepressant. I asked if it could be from the clonazepam and he said not 2 weeks later, not possible. This was a planned pregnancy, and I AM COMPLETELY HAPPY about this. We wanted this for at least 4 years, so when we found out we were screaming and crying jumping up and down. It had finally happened!! Does anybody have any insight? Also I did used to smoke a half pack of cigarettes a day and cold turkey them too. IS my body just in shock with detoxing and hormones racing? How long before this gets better? So should I take the antidepressant? This has lasted for 4 days now, I’m starting to feel a little better but scared it wont go away. BTW: I am 7 weeks pregnant. Serious answers only please, this is really rough on me. Thank You!!
