Been diagnosed with depression. Don't know whether to start taking the antidepressants that have…

Were they prescribed before or after you gpt pregnant?

I have bad depression too hun and never took them in pregnancy as there's always a small risk just started taking them again but you do whats best for you hope you start feeling better soon xx @micahsmoeder

But I do know people that do take them in pregnancy and there baby was fine xx

@kayteamay, they were prescribed yesterday Hun x

@becky1111, how did you cope without them? Did you have support like counselling etc?x

I have depression hun and I was given a different dose just before I found out I was pregnant but I stopped when I found out. I just get asked how I'm feeling and they said if I get really bad then they'll give me a different option of meds cause counselling didn't really help. But if you were prescribed recently and they know you're pregnant then I'm sure it's fine to take them but they're gonna make you feel like crap for a few weeks xx

I lost my baby last Christmas throw takin them I'm no doctor but I wouldn't risk takin them if ur pregnant x

@mamatobe93, how do you cope with it babe. Since you say therapy didn't work?

@suzannecamilleri26, sorry to hear that hun. This is one of the reasons why I haven't started even though I was prescribed them yesterday

These things happen in life but thanks maybe talk to the doctor again as I no down where I am some doctors said it can harm the baby and some people took them.n there baby's have bein fine,so hard as each woman is different I'm hear if u ever need a chat 😊

I had to go back on mine at about 4 months pregnant hon and Leah is fine and everything was normal. I had to take them or I wouldn't have been able to cope or enjoy the pregnancy or be the mum Leah needs me to be. All the midwives I spoke with said that citalipram is safe and they were very encouraging and supportive. I am always here if you need me as someone who understands XXX
