Hi all, I am 24 years old with a few mental health issues, and have been on various medications. I am currently 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and still taking an antidepressant, Pristiq. I was wondering if there are any ladies here who are pregnant, or have been and stayed on their medications for a bit into the pregnancy?
I've already came off a few, and just tapered off of my Trazodone... it has been a miserable experience so far. Trust me, being pregnant is great, and I am excited as well as my boyfriend, but I feel like I'm so alone with the burden of taking my medications, and thought of having to come off of them.. it makes me miserable. I saw my psychiatrist today and he said there really isn't any need to come off of the Pristiq today, but my ob wants me off of it sometime in the future so the baby doesn't face withdrawal symptoms. I don't want to be selfish, but I am scared of withdrawal symptoms myself, and just being off every single one of my psychotropics. I am scared of going months without my medications, and again I feel so alone in this cus I am the one carrying this child. Please help. __________________ Proud mama looking for other mom friends! |
