pregnant

958812 tn?1268764172 s can be taken during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks. Zoloft, Prozac, and Celexa are a few examples of Class C antidepressants that fit into this category. In general, its best to avoid these medications during the 1st trimester, if at all possible, and depending on the dosage you are on you may need to tapper down before delivery as some baby's do experience mild-moderate withdrawal symptoms after delivery. Visteral can be taken during pregnancy for panic attacks.
Avatar f tn 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!!!
Avatar f tn ll be able to remain relatively-anxiety free in the long run. Before the pregnancy, I had plans to start tapering off Zoloft anyway, however, it seems more scary now that I know I'm pregnant. Has anyone had experience with tapering while pregnant? My apologies for the long post!

Avatar f tn My doctor has just prescribed Zoloft and Ativan to help me cope. I am really worried about the effects on my baby. Is there anyone out there who has been on one or both of these drugs while pregnant. I desperately would like to hear about your experiences.
Avatar f tn I am 20+4 and on Zoloft. I was on something much stronger before pregnancy for my anxiety n depression. I made it thru the first trimester and had to go back on something. I talked with my ob, her partnering ob and a perinatal Dr. All agreed it was much safer to be on a low dose (50mg daily) than to continue with the panic attacks n depression.

94902 tn?1330479667 Just wondering if anyone is pregnant and taking either Zoloft (sertraline) or Toprol XL (metaporpolol). I currently take both - one for anxiety and the other because I have PVCs and tachycardia (which causes the anxiety). I am now estimated 6 weeks pregnant, and am having to make the decision about wether or not to come off my meds. I am in the process of weighing my pros and cons, but wonder if any other moms have been on any meds while pregnant. I would appreciate any input.
Avatar f tn I will be 26 weeks Sunday. Suffering from extreme depression. My doctor put me on 50mg of Zolof.... today is the first day taking it. And it exhausts me. And on top i think it is making baby sleep because his movements slowed down. :s any other moms prescribed zolof during pregnancy? What's your experience?
Avatar f tn I have been reading all the posts about Zoloft and pregnancy and I have to say that you are making me feel more comfortable. I currently take 25mg of Zoloft for Panic/Anxiety disorder. I have also been in therapy for over a year. It has been helping to teach me how to cope. Still can't fly, take a train or get stuck in traffic. I guess it is a little claustrophobia? My husband and I have been trying for our second child and I am wondering if the Zoloft is going to be ok.
1481291 tn?1287793105 I am taking zoloft in pregnancy right now and no problems so far and I know many many many women on here and not on here who are taking zoloft or have taking zoloft during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I'm on zoloft and I'm 30 weeks pregnant and everything is fine
1173196 tn?1292916490 I've been taking anti-depressants for about 7 years, zoloft for the last 3. When I got pregnant, I researched it online and everything said that it should be discontinued after 28 weeks because it can cause hypertension in a newborn. I asked all 3 of my midwives, and they each told me that there was no danger in continueing zoloft for the entire pregnancy and even while breastfeeding. I've already cut my dose by half anyway.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to them. I am on zoloft 50mg once a day, and i have just increased it to 50 Wed because i am 5 1/2 months pregnant with severe anxiety. now i have these really scary thoughts about not being able to take care good care of my newborn when she gets here. Its eating me up inside. I am goi ng to see a therapist tommorrow but i was just curious if this is a side effect of the Zoloft?
Avatar f tn Zoloft is probably the worst out of all the antidepressants o.o The two that are the safest are prozac, and welbutrin -welbutrin being the safest. @djan2011 sometimes a natural remedy is more dangerous than a pharmaceutical when it comes to depression. I myself fell into a deep depression around 13 weeks pregnant and had to start taking prozac short term had I not I probably would have killed myself.
Avatar f tn I have several chronic pain conditions and have been on heavy duty pain meds for years. I have been weaning off as fast as I can as I was planning on getting pregnant next year sometime. However... life throws you surprises and well here I am. I am on methadone and morphine. I'm down to only 5-10mg of methadone and 15-30mg of morphine daily. I am still having pain and need some amount to make life tolerable. However I know it's horrible for baby! Any tips?
Avatar m tn i have been on zoloft for a little over a year, i just stopped taking it, because i found out that im pregnant, im feeling dazed and and im emotional and feel nauseaus on and off through the day and im moody, i was wondering how long it take to get zoloft completley out of your system and the way that im feeling now, is it the zoloft or just being pregnant?
Avatar f tn my doctor wants me to start on zoloft...any one else take it during pregnancy and what is or was your dose? when i read online about it i am pretty sure they dont recommend using it in tyour 3rd trimester though? any feedback would be helpful...
Avatar f tn Actually out of all the ssri antidepressants, extensive studies have shown that zoloft is the safest, showing little to no birth defects. Prozac is also very safe but doctors recommend switching to zoloft by the end of pregnancy to avoid lethargy in infants. Don't always believe the ads on tv. Usually they are directed towards the .4% of cases of mild birth defects. If you need it, take it! I've been on antidepressants for over 12 years.
Avatar f tn s better to NOT take Zoloft during pregnancy. That being said, a lot of women take an antidepressant during their pregnancies with no issues. Keep in mind too, that these meds are fairly new on the market, so any long term issues really cannot be determined yet. There really aren't any definitive studies about the long term effects on children born to mothers who were taking Zoloft during pregnancy.
Avatar n tn My best friend is very afraid to have another baby because she was on Zoloft. She asked her psychiatrist and I asked mine and they both said that Zoloft is the best antidepressant to be on during pregnancy. It has the lowest risk of negative outcomes. Many, many people stay on antidepressants while pregnant. I am not trying to sway you either way, I just know myself. When I am not on my antidepressant I am terribly depressed and having panic attacks a lot.
Avatar f tn ve heard nothing but horrible things about Zoloft. Is there anyone that has takin it during their pregnancy? What is your opinion and experience?
Avatar f tn most importantly of course... had health, happy children. How does everybody feel about smoking marijuana during pregnancy occasionally? thank you!
