Common Questions and Answers about Effects of zoloft and pregnancy
zoloft
I've been on Zoloft my whole pregnancy. And I've never had that effect. Maybe you should call your dr.
Category A
Adequate and well-controlled studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy (and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters).
Category B
Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
I stayed on it through the first two trimesters of my pregnancy. And I had the support of my OB and my GP. There are risks, but that is with anything. Like you said Tylenol has risks. My dr's considered 50mg a really low dose, so I know that 25mg would be considered low. I wish I had saved the research my dr. gave me, but it listed out how Zoloft breaks down in your body and how the lower the mg the lower the amount gets to baby.
Hey I also stop med because of my pregnancy I am now 36weeks+4 days and my second and third trimester were rough especially after my ex left me but I say try and continue without it .I started therpy when the depression got really bad but when u start to feel the kick and movement of your child I swear everything seems to just go away! !! I wish the best for u and yours .. and pray everything will work out for u!!!
Zoloft is a great drug, I have had panic attacks and anxiety for years and they went away after being on Zoloft and xanex as needed. It does take some time to find the right dose and the side effects to go away but stay with it!! Before I started the Zoloft I was taking 2-4 mg of xanex a day, after some time I was not taking any, and my life was normal again. Unfortunately after 12 plus years on Zoloft it pooped out on me a year ago...
One of the great ironies of depression treatment is that while depression can rob you of your desire for sex, the drugs that treat it can be much worse. Common side effects for women are lessening of sexual desire and ability to orgasm. However, this isn’t true for everyone.
There are, however, some actions you can take that may help restore your sexual satisfaction. You may wish to discuss these with your prescribing physician.
Hello, new to the community here...I've been dealing with anxiety since I was 22 (am now 34). Been in therapy almost the entire time and on meds as well. Took Paxil and Klonopin until a few months ago. My therapist and ob/gyn switched me to Zoloft because my husband and I want to start a family. I LOVE the Zoloft, feel much better than I did when taking Paxil. Clearer, more energy, just more awake to the world in general. So...my problem is the Klonopin.
Lastly, you just increased your dose of Zoloft, and it is common to experience a resurgence of those initial start up side effects again. Usually you would see those side effects start to abate in a week or two.
So, to recap, I would ask for a more thorough assessment/diagnostic approach with your suspected hormonal issues. If need be, your doc can ever refer you to an endocrinologist (I would personally recommend that).
I took Zoloft throughout my entire pregnancy. My dosage was 75mg. Zoloft is the most widely used medication of this type used in pregnancy and breastfeeding. I am not going to tell you to start up without talking to a Dr, but I am telling you is that most Dr's agree that it is safe for use in pregnancy. Good luck!!!
So i go on Zoloft and by the 3rd day I felt anxious, like I was on speed. I called my doc and she said to stio taking it.
A month later I see her again and she claimed that it was impossible that I was feeling what I felt the first time (anxiety, jitteriness, tic increase, hard to think) becuase I had only been taking it for three days. She bascially siad it was all in my head.
She said that it is a better drug than Zoloft and that I would experience less side effects. With Zoloft, I had gained much weight and was continuously having extreme fatigue. When I began seriously TTC-ing, I did research about Lexapro and found out that it is relatively safe. I stopped taking it three months before I got pregnant with my second one, not because I was worried but because I lost my health insurance and couldn't afford the drug.
I had no problem with the Zoloft for 14 years and I am back on it now and have recovered from all of the phyciatric effects of this medication change. The Paxil on the other hand in my opinion is a dangerous drug. If you send for the side effect list from the drug company itself and not the pharmacy one because it doesn't list them all, then you will see all the horible side effects that this drug can cause. I am living proof that it does cause these things.
After I had my son a year ago I had very bad anxiety and depression and my ob at the time gave me zoloft. The anxiety eventually went away and I accredited that to the zoloft, so remai ed on it. Now that it has returned while I was on the zoloft I can see it is not helping, but rather my hormones were "off". Since zoloft is not advised during pregnancy I have d/c it and switched to the buspar yesterday.
when i explained these symptoms to her she acted like they were not syptoms of Zoloft and Zoloft only stays in your system for 2 days and that i needed to get a checkup before she would even want to see me again. but i told her no thanks, well then, why did i start having these side effects before and after taking Zoloft. Any suggestions, comments, etc would be extremely helpful.
