Avatar f tn Are there ANY anxiety/depression meds that are allowed to take during pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I feel you there. I just turned 34 weeks yesterday and have been feeling bad for the past 4 months. At first I thought it was just hormones, but it's been getting worse and post partum scares me. We talked to the doctor about it and I was given some safe during pregnancy medication. I go back in 2 weeks to see if it's helping. I would at least talk to your doctor about it.

541196 tn?1293552936 Namaste, SSRI antidepressants(such as Lexapro) may cause serious or life-threatening lung problems in newborn babies whose mothers take the medication during pregnancy. However, you may have a relapse of depression if you stop taking your antidepressant during pregnancy. If you are planning a pregnancy, or if you become pregnant while taking Lexapro, do not stop taking the medication without first talking to your doctor.

Avatar n tn Is Zoloft or Librium safe during pregnancy? Are there any antidepressents that are safe during pregnancy?
Avatar f tn It depends on which medication, there are some that are safe. Ive been having issues with it, because ive already taken all the ones that are safe at one point and there are very few that are safe.
Avatar n tn I have been told many times that Wellbutrin is okay to take during pregnancy. However, Xanax is not okay. I also suffer from depression and anxiety so I know how tough it can be. In regards to your symptoms, they sound like pretty common pregnancy hormone related issues. I hated my husband when I was pregnant. For no reason at all. I cried all the time. I was sick to my stomach. The baby was fine; I was fine. Hang in there for a little longer sweetie.
Avatar n tn Most OB doctors feel that they are reasonably safe for use during pregnancy. Several studies have shown that women who wean off the drug in early pregnancy often have a relapse of symptoms and need to re-start the medication. Most providers would recommend using the medication at the lowest effective dose. So, now you have to interpret what I just said! If you were my patient, I would probably encourage you to re-start at a dosage of 10mg, and increase if that wasn't sufficient.
Avatar f tn I'm 13 weeks and I also take Wellbutrin. Maintaining your mental health is critical for a healthy Mom and healthy baby. This med has been tested on pregnant woman and has been labeled safe during pregnancy. I've done a lot of research on the meds that my doctor has deemed safe for me during pregnancy. :) I think you're doing the right thing by seeking help opposed to letting your depression become a problem that is too big to manage later. Best of luck.
Avatar f tn It is worse to have untreated depression during pregnancy than to take medication. I tried and things got outta control quickly. After discussions with my ob and a pediatrician , I am on a low dose of medication. It has made a world of difference especially dealing with my kids n husband. Keep talking to anyone who'll listen and telling your Dr how u really feel. If Dr won't listen and u can't change talk to the office manager . just keep telling them till someone listens.
Avatar f tn I cant figure out how to post a picture so if anyone knows then please let me know how, but anyways i have a list from my ob with all meds that are safe to take during pregnancy for things such as colds and allergies, constipation, nausea and and many other common things so if you would like to know just leave a comment and ill answer what meds are good to take if the problem yourr having is on the list i have :)
Avatar f tn I'm on Zoloft and was told it was completely safe
1125183 tn?1287614030 Ive tried talking to my doctor about it and she told me that because the pills I was on last summer didnt work that she wasnt going to put me on anything thats safe during pregnancy because it may not effect me. Ugh. Its getting to the point where I cant sleep, eat, or have a life without wanting to cry or hurt myself. What do I do?!!
Avatar f tn I believe I read somewhere but dont quote me prozac and wellbutrin are ok during pregnancy as are other SSRIs, TCAs like Tofranil and pamelor are considered safe to use during pregnancy. I am sure your doctor can share better insight.
652671 tn?1353712165 I know you aren't doctors, but my OB GYN is just not helping me with this. I don't have a general practitioner (he retired and they pretty much told me to go elsewhere) I did go to see a psychiatrist at the free clinic, but the man hardly spoke english and in my opinion was an hour wasted. I see a counselor for generalized anxiety disorder (we think that's what i have - i'm not so sure anymore ...
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever tooken anxiety and depression medication while either pregnant or breastfeeding. How safe is it?
