Pregnancy & antidepressant?
Question:
Anyone would know about this or had this kinda experience?
I been on Sertraline 100 mg - Zoloft (sertraline) for about 2/3 years & just wondering if that could be dangerous during pregnancy?
I tried seaching it but couldnt really find anything...
Thanks

according to yahoo health, it is at the highest risk during the third trimester. personally, i was on zoloft when i'd gotten pregnant with my daughter. i stopped taking it during my pregnancy, and was pretty good during the pregnancy. for me it was post partum that i needed the meds. discuss it with your doctor. together, you can weigh the risks and benefits of staying on it or stopping.
sertaline hydrochloride will cross the placenta in pregnancy and you may also become hypersensitive to the drug during prgnancy.For the best interest of your fetus and yourself..get off of that drug.Why are you on an antidepressant anyway?You have a lot to look forward to now..so focus on that.Also you are going to be having all kinds of hormonal changes as time goes on in the next few months and you dont want some silly drug in the way to make it worse..you dont want your baby to be born with a drug dependancy and it surely will be if you continue to take this.For whatever reason you take this for..ask your Dr what to do..but dont take these drugs while pregnant..Ive looked after many babies with fetal drug syndrome and its not a pretty sight
