I'm on Lexapro 20mg.  I'm going down to 15mg for one month and then to 10mg for the 3rd trimester.

What are your plans and dosage, if you don't mind sharing.

    I take Zoloft 25 mg and doctor said such a low dose no reason to taper.  Mine is for panic disorder.

    They took me off of my seroquil.  I havent been put on anything else.  I kinda decided to not take anything til after Cathleen was born.  I can't afford to goto a Psychologist.  I am still on my Wellbutrin for my ADHD.

    I take 100mg of Zoloft for anxiety issues postpartum and my OB said Zoloft is one of the safest antidepressants and it is better for the baby if he has a mother who is not so anxious all the time and medicated than a mom who is constantly on the verge of panic, and therefore to stay on it.

    Thanks for the replies, ladies.  I'm googling, and I know I shouldn't.

    I'm weaning off 10mg of Lexapro already.  My doctor left it up to me whether or not to stay on it, but was happy to hear that I wanted to try without.  Good luck.

    I had to get off my paxil when I got my BFP but I'm looking into getting on Zoloft for the time being.  It's been rough being off my meds.

    I was on Cymbalta before I got pregnant and my doctor switched me to 50 mg Zoloft when I was 8 weeks because Cymbalta had "unknown risk to the fetus."  I forgot to get it refilled recently and felt okay at first so I went off it for 2 weeks but eventually, I was so moody and crazy that I had to go back on it.  I think it's much better for me and the baby (and DH) to stay on the Zoloft. 

    I'd say that if it's affecting your quality of life being off the meds completely, talk to your doctor about what is safe to take and what you're comfortable with.

    I started taking Zoloft 50mg for anxiety/depression at 18 weeks. I'm now down to 25mg and I'll continue to take it throughout the pregnancy and afterwards.

    I stopped cold turkey on my meds when I got my BFP, thinking I was going to do irreparable damage to my baby. I'm trying to go full-pregnancy without but will be definitely going back on post-baby.
