Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Hi , I was told by my doctor that atarax was 'safe' (whatever the hell that means) to take during pregnancy.

Guess it's up to us to make sure. As it happened, the atarax turned me into a complete psychopath before pregnancy became an issue with that particular drug, but then I have had 6 miscarriages so it makes one think. Ug!
