Is anyone take anti depressants while pregnant? I might have to go back on it for my anxiety and…

I was prescribed to antidepressants before I found out I was pregnant and quit taking them but now I'm on a new one. My chronic anxiety was putting more stress on me pregnant than was healthy and causing me to fall deeper j to my depression. Now I feel a little more connected to the idea I'm having a baby and can get out of bed in the morning.

I did while I was pregnant. but I didn't have to take them for very long

yes, I took them long before pregnancy but quit and had awful post partum depression so I'm taking them again this pregnancy.

what do you all take, if you don't mind me asking? @kellynns @ilovebeingyourmommy @their.bomb.ass.mom

The generic version of Zoloft, called Sertraline and a mood stabilizer called Lamotragine. (spelling may be off on that last one)

I take Zoloft now and use to take Lexapro. Zoloft has given me side effects but OB says it is the safer one she wants me on. @metalmomma

I use to take celexa

Does zoloft make you feel all weird the first two weeks. My first obgyn appt they prescribed me celexa... I didn't take it for the longest time then I felt like it was time so I tried it for one day and I hated the way it made me feel. Really didn't want to put me or the baby through that for two weeks. I have been diagnosed with severe depression since I was a preteen and I have been going through it lately. Not sure what to do.

I can't remember the name but I'll look later and tell you

did you try celexa for more than a day@metalmomma

I did not. The feeling was just too intense. I regretted taking it, it was so bad. @selizabeth292

I felt like that too but my doc said to give it a few days so I did and it worked out great and it all depends on the dosage too but I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Are you taking anything for it?@metalmomma

Only a few days? I read about it and people said it takes about two weeks. I took a half of a 20mg. I felt way more anxiety taking it than not. I'm not taking anything at the moment. I would like to... everyday it's hard to get out of bed. I need some kind of boost. I have a mental health appointment soon. I'm just nervous about taking anything while pregnant. And I do need to stop a month before the baby comes, right? @selizabeth292

Yeah I became much different in the first 4 days of taking it. I was surprised by it and idk it depends on what your taking and the dosage because I talked to my doc about it and she said I didn't have to stop it if I didn't need tmetalmomma oo@
