I have talked to some many doctors regarding this issue and nobody seems to be in complete agreement except for a few things 1) you should be on ANY medication unless you have to and 2) The benefits of being on the med should out way the risks to the fetus. Well I tried going off my medication and slipped right back into severe anxiety and depression. I couldn't sleep, eat, or function at all. I literally had 5 to 7 panic attacks DAILY! I wish to god I could be off the meds but I can't I just can't and I feel incredible guilt constantly about this issue. The doctors aren't always supportive either. I actually had doctor say to me ......" do you want to have a deformed baby". Needless to say I stopped seeing him. Do I want to be on these medications....GOD NO! Do I have to be SADLY yes. I did choose this it choose me. I hate feel guilty about it!
