Antidepressants and pregnancy..

Figured I should post this here instea as I am technically considered a young adult medication and brain wise. And maybe I'll be better understood here by women closer to my age (20)..

Hey everyone.

Before getting pregnant I was on Zoloft (50mg, I think) but got off (cold turkey) when I thought that I might be pregnant. So far I have gotten by alright without it with a few episodes here and there but lately things have been getting worse.

Today before leaving for school, I got into it with my mom over something stupid. I did my best to remove myself from the situation and try to calm down, but she followed me through the house and continued to yell at me and try to get a rise from me. Well, eventually I broke and began yelling back at her. She said she was going to slap me, didn't give a damn that I was pregnant, and a bunch of things reguarding me and my child. So I natually snapped. I ended up punching the wall, burised my knuckle and left the house in an emotional mess.

I'm starting to think that maybe I need to go back on my medications. I cannot deal with my mother like this. I cannot keep myself self calm when she follows me and tries to get me to yell back at her.

So what do you ladies think? Obviously I'm going to speak to my doctors about it, but I wanted some opinions on this as well.

I figure with 11 weeks to go I should be in the clear for most of the harmful birth defects. I just want to have some control with my emotions. Because things are getting way out of hand..

i'd try to go back on it if your doctor says its okay since your so far along i dont think that anything could go wrong with the baby if you start it again but talk to your doctor first.

Thanks, that's what I was figuring too. I've already e-mailed her so I should get a reply either today or tomorrow for an appointment to prescribe me the medication again.

Your not alone!! your feelings are very common..... Please talk to your doctor, there are plenty of safe medications to take while pregnant....and its better for you to feel mentally better then not for the baby as well...
