Antidepressants

Hey girls! I know I ask a lot of questions but I always feel so comforted by your responses. Has any one been on antidepressants and stopped tkaing them once they got pregnant? I do not want to continue taking them (since they can potentally harm the baby). I am going to ask my RE but I forgot today so I wanted to see if anyone else did this? If so how did you stop taking them (all at once, ect)?

What ever you do don't stop them abruptly. Your DR needs to wean you off slowly. Stopping them quickly can do more harm to baby and you. Many women continue to take them during pregnancy just at a lower dose. Having a panic attack can actually be more harmful to baby then the actual drug. It all depends on what the med is and the dosage. I would definitly call your RE asap to find out what they suggest. Good luck!
