I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
about a year after my second child was
born. Started taking meds soon after.
That was over 2 years ago. We decided to
have another child, so I stopped taking
meds. 9 weeks along now, and really
having a hard time. Depressed,
unmotivated to do anything, etc...Is there
any medicine that can help, but not harm
the baby?

I Give You Suggestion Posted: 09-21-06 07:15am
Hi I know that depression is more common
in women than men and is especially common
during the pregnancy time because during
this period they are stay at home and no
one there for the care, but tell you
depression is just a feeling you can
overcome from this there are lot of ideas
and helps that give you internal support
to fight the depression there is one help
line that give you relax from the
depression edit . You need this because
men seem to seek help for feelings of
depression less often than women because
women is always with the man and she can
give him a best care. And as you say
that I am in the period of the pregnancy
so I suggest you that you have to very
care full about this because edit you can
overcome from the depression before the
pregnancy with out any help but first
month after a delivery is very serious
because after pregnancy if depression came
to you then it directly affect the health
of your new born child, and second thing
you ask about the medicine so I tell you
there are lot of drugs like zoloft,
celexa, paxil, and lexapro but befor
taking the medicine you have to consult
with the doctor, and I pray to you that
you got a very healthy and cute child all
the best.. Take care and say bye to
depression.

I would definitely ask my doctor if I was
feeling like this. I did stay on my
depression meds during pregnancy, but you
will have to ask your doctor what you
should do. I hope you feel better
soon!
