When I found out I was pregnant (surprise!) I was just on 1.5mg of alprazolam. My provider at the time took me off that immediately obviously. Because I became so depressed and anxious (I didn't want to be pregnant) she put me on 25mg of sertraline a night.
So, I felt much better then, and had a fantastic pregnancy, besides puking once a day (sometimes twice in the beginning) for nine months. No depression or anxiety.
I wish I wouldn't have taken it. Everyone told me it was fine. My obgyn told me she's never delivered a baby with problems from the mom being on sertraline, and since I was on such a tiny dose she insisted the baby would be especially fine.
Anyway, my daughter is four. When she was two we were told that she had a major developmental delay, particularly in language, and was put in an early childhood class.
Right now I think she's mostly caught up.
I'm not sure if she's going to have problems (learning issues) when she starts actual school. She's starting 4k in the fall.
Anyway, so I don't know if her delay was because of the sertraline, or if it would have happened anyway. Either way I feel like ****ing **** about it and like now she's going to have a crap time in school and become depressed and frustrated and struggle to keep up with her peers and have self esteem issues because I took sertraline when I was pregnant with her.
