I havent' mentioned this before but when my husband died they gave me prozac while I was pregnant. I took it because the depressions was worse on my body than the prozac was. My baby is fine.

I believe you and the baby are going to be better off if you are in a better emotional state than if you are depressed. If you need to take prozac to help your depression then that is what you need to do.

Everyone will have their own opinions on the subject, but you need to do what is right for you (and the baby).

Good luck!

I know that the general advice is to avoid taking any medication during pregnancy but sometimes that just isn't possible. I suffer from really bad allergies and when I fell pregnant, I stopped taking my antihistamines. I became so unwell from the contant itchiness and lack of sleep that at 10 weeks I went back on them again (on my doctor's advice). My baby turned out fine.

I know it's not ideal for you to be taking prozac but you need to be well for your baby. 'depression and anxiety' sounds like nothing to some people if they haven't suffered it. Trust your doctor. If you really feel you can't cope without it then take the prozac.

Best of luck hun.

How far along were you when you started taking prozac? I called my doctor and left a message, i'm waiting on a call back. Thank you so much for your help and advice. :d

Thank you to everyone for your advice. It really helps :d

i was at about 30 weeks I think...I'd have to go back and look at the dates.
