prozac during pregnancy

Anyone take it? What type of effects did it have on you? Did you continue on it after delivery?

I struggled with depression and anxiety for many years but went off my meds when we started TTC. I was doing well for a few months but unfortunately, my symptoms have returned and amplified. I did not have this experience or PPD with my other two children. I hate feeling the way I do right now so  I decided to reach out to my OB yesterday for some help and this is what she prescribed.

Just looking for some feedback and support. Thanks!

    I just want to say I'm sorry you are going through this. I ended up with depression at 16 weeks. It was terrible but got better after about 3 months of being  on Zoloft, seeing a therapist and psychiatrist. My doctors and therapist are in Philly if you want to talk to other doctors about the med. I am still taking the Zoloft and will probably be on it until Cooper is 1.

    Good Luck I hope it helps.

    My psychiatrist put me on prozac because it is the most researched antidepressant for pregnancy, by OB agreed that prozac is fine for pregnancy.  I just started taking it last night, so I cant speak of the side effects. Good luck!
