I’m on Wellbutrin, which I know I need to talk to my doctor about before i get pregnant. But I am so afraid that just going off of it will make my depression come back even worse. And with all those hormones swirling around, woohoo!! Also, I have bad allergies and asthma, and chronic insomnia for which I take Ambien for. I presume that I will have to learn how to live without these drugs for awhile? Sometimes they say that the mother taking drugs can sometimes outweigh the risks of going off the drugs. With my history of depression and anxiety, I have a feeling I might be one of those people….but I definitely would not want to cause any harm to my unborn baby. I know I should talk to my doctor, and I will, but I wanted to hear any of your experiences with this kind of situation?

Thanks in advance!

I have been extremely depressed and currently 22 weeks pregnant. I don’t think there is a day I don’t cry at least once and I just want to sleep and not move. I’ll have a better day here and there, but the good days seem to be fewer and fewer.

I totally don’t want to take any medicines at all b/c I know it can pass to the baby and no medicine is 100% safe. I already have an autistic child and I don’t want to do anything that may cause me to think a defect may be my fault later.

Because of a chemical imbalance I’m not able to go off depression medication, but my husband and I are TTC right now, and I want to make sure what I’m taking is safe.

I am 27 weeks along and I honestly feel like I’m going to EXPLODE with anger!!!! I have come SO close to quitting my job and I’ve been so mad I want to just burst out into tears!!! I’ve read some peoples answers on other related questions that said to deal with it, I honeslty don’t think I can take it for another day. HELP!!!

What are the pros and cons?
