s/o Lexapro...meds while pregnant?

MJHershey

Who here stayed on their anti-anxiety or depression meds while pregnant? Or if you went on them since your  last LO, do you plan to stay on them?

I'm torn with my 40mg of Celexa. I know the risks are low, and it's Class C, my doc says it's safe... but, I don't know if it would be a moot point because I'd be so worried about side effects the medication would be useless.

I took Lexapro through my first pregnancy and I'm taking it during this pregnancy.

My doctor did not allow me to take Lexapro with my pregnancy or breast feeding with DD1. I ended up switching to formula to I could go back on it after she was born.

I weaned off this time and was off for about three months before I got pregnant. I plan on going back on right away after this kid is born.

Really? I am on Celexa, and I took it while BFing LO (went on it when he was 8 months).
