  I had been prescribed ativan for anxiety with flying. That drug is a BIG no no during pregnancy and I am not taking it during pregnancy. You should really speak directly with your doctor about taking any medications during pregnancy.

  I'm taking 150 mg of Zoloft. I took it during my last pregnancy and I intend to take it during this pregnancy. The risks are small and honestly I think that in my case the pros outweigh the cons.

  I've tried to get on Zoloft, but it makes my anxiety and insomnia worse!!! Anyone else have that effect?

  I weened off my Wellbutrin when finding out we were expecting again, just like I did with DD. With DD's pregnancy, I had zero problems. This time around, it was a nightmare. Horrible panic attacks. They put me back on Wellbutrin but I had HORRIBLE side ef

  i take 100mg of zoloft and 100mg of trazedone. Upon finding out i was pregnant i dropped the zoloft from 200mg to 100mg.  That is the only change i plan on making with my meds during this pregnancy.

  It really depends on your situation and needs. My 1st pregnancy I took 20mg Zoloft, which is a safe drug for pregnancy.

  I take 100mg/day of zoloft. I had read alot of mixed stories about it, so i quit taking it for the first 4 days after i found out I was pregnant. Then it all crashed on me. Quitting cold turkey is NOT good. But my doc told me zoloft was fine, that for

  I agree with pp's talk to your doc. I am on 20 mg of fluoxetine (generic Prozac) and I am weaning down to 10. I started on it when I was depressed about the IF last summer and I specifically asked for something that was safe for TTC & pregnancy. At th
