Prob gonna go back on antidepressant

I went off slowly when we decided to try for baby and for a while I was fine.  Lately I've just been down and getting really upset over stuff that used to not bother me as much.  All I want to do is sleep and not because I have that 1st tri need.  I just sleep because I don't want to do anything else.  I hate that I feel so fat and miserable.  I feel crummy all the time and nothing makes me happy.

I told DH, and he is fine with whatever I have to do.  I go to the OB on Tuesday and I'll see what she says.  I hate this disease.

I'm so sorry.  I've struggled with depression over the years too.  I hope you feel better soon

I weaned myself off Lexapro right after I got my BFP.  That was a hard one to kick, the withdrawl symptoms were horrible.  So far I've been ok.  Good luck.

I think you are being wise.  I have a lot of family who suffer w/depression and manic/depression.  It is a serious diesease and if you are not ready you are not ready.

I would ask for a peri-natologist refferal to go over all your drugs and see for safety.  I have severe arthritis and this is how they determined what was safe for me.

Thanks so much for the support...

I promised myself that I would not be mad/disapointed in myself if I had to go back on, and here I am, mad/disapointed... like it is something I can control.  I am even trying to blame the crummy weather we've been having, but I know deep down it isn't the weather.

Hi

 

I've been on celexa for a couple years. I went off of it right before I got pregnant because I heard its not good for the baby. The docs I have said that prozac is safe for when you are pregnant, but of course you will want to check with your doctor. I'm hoping that I won't have to go back on Celexa-I have more of an anxiety disorder than depression, but have struggled with both over the years.

 

Just remember that what is healthy for you is healthy for baby.  If you aren't feeling ok, you need to talk with your doc pronto. Remember it does take a few days to feel better from antidepressants. so, don't wait until you are in a panic state!

 

best of luck!
