Hi dnna
I'm on serquel and have been for well over a year. Even though the doss can go real high im sensitive to meds and low dosses work for me most times. The side effects for me on serquel are hair loss and rash.
I've been on up to 75mg at night as well but even though it worked great the side effects were real bad.
I'm now on half a 25mg pill a night and so far so good. That would be 12.5mg if they made a doss that low but they don't so i very carefully break it in half.
"TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION"
I am having a tubal reversal OCT 27th and will be tring to get pregnent. My phycitrist told me it shouldn't be taken during pregnancy because of low to med. risk of birth defects as well as other things. I was there when she looked it up. I've also read it somewhere myself.
I have no entention on taking it if i'm pregnent. Its not a risk i'm willing to take.
As for the drug its self- its a ANTIPHSYCHOTIC DRUG used origionally for schizophrenia. These past years though doctors have been finding new usses for it like treating bipolar.
Like Thelema said, i haven't heard of it being used for depression ether. If it works, thats great but if your going to have a baby, there are many avalible drugs out there which are safe.
I hope that helped some,
Jacqui :-))
