Whats Ok to Take While Preg?? Posted: 01-17-06 15:39pm
I wasnt sure where to put this question
but here seems like the right
place.........
My husband and I are going to be ttc in
about a month or two. I have anxiety and
get panic attacks sometimes. Im worried
that some of my anxiety medication might
hurt the baby. My doctor told me that
that prozac is fine to take. Does anybody
else know what kinds of anxiety/depression
medication is ok to take during pregnancy?
Any info would be great thanks!

My sister in law took zoloft while
pregnant with her doctors permission.
Her baby is fine!

Prozac Posted: 02-06-06 19:37pm
A major issue on this topic is that no one
has really tested this (think of the
ethical implications). But valerian
(great for stress) seems to be just fine
and so does st. John's wart (depression).
Prozac is one of the least harmful ssris
around. The question is this: are you
going to be able to survive 9 months
without hurting yourself or others if you
do not take medication?
If you beleive that you can survive
without endangering yourself then here's
another question: can you keep yourself
from being extrememly stressed without
those medications? Extreme stress (much
more than normal stress) can be very bad
for your pregnancy.
A side note, I did everything right during
my pregnancy and miscarried at 9 wks.
I've had friends who did everything wrong
had have perfectly healthy babies.
