Postpartum Depression

anyone take anti-anxiety/depression meds before

Getting pregnant and have to increase it while pregnant. I just increased my Zoloft to 125 from 100 and in a few days will increase a little more. Just wondering if anyone had the same issue and if the meds increase helped. Tia

  • I started at 50 and now I am at 200. Its definitely better now.

So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

  • Pre-pregnancy I was on Effexor. I stopped taking it (weaned properly via doctor supervision) when I found out I was pg. I had a mental breakdown from APD around 22 weeks and was put on Zoloft. 

    Continued Zoloft through pregnancy and upped it after birth to avoid PPD.  

  • was on Cymbalta prior and during pregnancy per doctor supervision. 

    Weaned off of Cymbalta and onto Prozac after delivery.

    I had it VERY BAD and am just now starting to feel sunshine a little more each day.

  • Hi all. I am not pregnant yet, but we are going to start TTC. I am on 20 mg of Prozac (have been for years) and am seeing a clinical psychologist. We are talking about going down to 10 mg to see how I do before I get pregnant. I just am looking for some advice as well about the medication before I get pregnant. 

     Any advice? I am hoping that I can do well with the lower dose. But I am nervous.
