Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Has anyone been pregnant and still taken their depression meds? I was taking Prozac everyday, 60 mg, but since finding out I was pregnant I, with advice from my doctor, stopped taking it. So far so good, I am not feeling depressed, but I am scared that I will in the future. Especially since spring tends to be my trouble time. March to be exact, every time I had a depressive episode it began in March. So, March is coming around soon and I'm pretty scared depression is going to creep its way up on me without me taking my meds. But, I'm also afraid that if I continue to take my prozac that it can cause birth defects. Has anyone had this problem?
Also, always go to your doctor before starting back up. Be open with him about your concerns, and he'll steer you in the right direction.
