Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hi , I am currently on Prozac 20 mg a day and 1/2 a mg of Klonopin a day and my ob checked it and said it was okay. I took higher doses of the same meds when I was pregnant with my other kids and none of the docs I seen, even at the high risk clinic with the twins, said it was a problem. Have your Ob check his PDR ( physicians desk reference manual) and he can see what the med is rated at and if there are any side effects or problems with that med you are on, if there is you could always switch to something that is more baby friendly. Good Luck with everything. HUGS, ROBIN, NY Age- 41 Due Date- #4 July 27th, 2004 OPEN RNY 10-18-02 378/246/170???

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 When I got pg with my first, I was on Celexa. The OB had me go off it until 7 months. Most anti-depressents are class C which means they should not be taken unless absolutely necessary. Zoloft I beleive is the only one that has significant clinical trials to put it at a class B. So the option is to try and go without or try switching to Zoloft...preferably before you get pg. But listen to me sounding like a doc and all.....lol! Just what I've heard. Talk to your primary doc about it I think.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 , I was taking prozac and klonipin when I found out I was pregnant. I spoke to my psychologist and she said that the klonipin needed to be stopped immediately but I could continue taking the prozac. I decided to stop everything considering that there are other meds that I have to take and wanted to eliminate everything I could. It has been tough at times but luckily I have a very supportive and understanding husband and that has been a great help. I would say if you can stop go for it, but don't beat yourself up if you can't. This is a tough subject to work through, I totally understand. Axelrod Planning Ahead Happy New Years to everyone! We are thinking about starting to ttc but I have a few questions that yall maybe able to answer first, PLEASE! Is anyone/Has anyone gone through a pregnancy and taken antidepressants at the same time (in particular Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) and Effexor XR (75mg). If so what did your doctor have to say? Also I am from the Houston, Texas area and was wondering if anyone knew of a good doctor who has delt with WLS patients and pregnancy? Would you mind giving me their name and number? Thank you all for all your help and information. This web site has given me so much hope and determination. =-) Open RNY-2/17/03 272/174/150 Children are a blessing, and a gift from the Lord. -Psalm 127:3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 When I was pregnant with my first baby I was on Zoloft 100 mg. my ob had me stop until after I fininshed breastfeeding. I take it for PMS and PMS migraines, so needless to say I didn't need it while I was pregnant! Check with your ob and your pcp and good luck.
