I have always suffered severe depression, I became pregnant unexpectedly and was on 20mg Fluoxetine, I then weaned myself off under doctors supervision as I was not sure of the risks of taking this medication during pregnancy. However when I reached the second trimester I went into severe depression again and couldn’t cope, was always crying and arguing with my Fiance, so I went to see a specialist consultant in pregnancy and she perscribed me Fluoxetine 20mg again, she assured me that the risks are next to none and that if I didn’t treat the depression it would be worse for the baby.
Since I’ve been taking the meds I am SO much better and feeling a lot more myself, no longer argue at all with my partner and don’t get upset over nothing. I am now 23 weeks pregnant and feel the baby all the time, have had all my scans/blood tests and all is well.
I still worry that when the baby is born it may get withdrawn? I have been reassured by my Midwife who says she has a lot of patients on the drug and by 3 consultants. I know I am better on this drug but I still get scared even though I have read up so much about it.
My question is has anyone else been on this drug during pregnancy and how did you and the baby get on when you gave birth?
I am planning to breastfeed and have also been told this is low risk.
I was put on provera because I had period every 2 weeks. I had very bad side effects. I thought I was going to loose my mind. I finished the pills for 2 weeks thinking it’s going to regulate my period. Then I had to go to the doctor again shortly after because my symptoms didn’t go away. Doctor ended up giving me 3 other antidepressent pills. I developed depression after taking those pills. I was never a depressed person, I never had anxiety either. Now these pills have alered my brains for good. How can I recover from that? I have stopped taking the pills since spring but still have the symptoms and it’s driving me crazy. I only took those pills for about 3 months. But it has done permanant damage to me. Now I am pregnant and have mood changes all day. Doctor is recommending that I take zoloft again because it’s safe during pregnancy. If that doesn’t work they want me to try other drugs. If I take more pills I will only get worse. Has anyone here has same experience like me?
