I'm nearly 12 weeks pregnant and have suffered with depression in and off for about 8 years. I had been on Prozac this time for about a year and it was helping- only 20mg but I was planning on trying to get an increase in dosage as I felt I very much needed it.
Anyway, I am now (unexpectedly!) pregnant and have come off the meds due to fear of causing harm to the baby. My doctor admitted she wasn't an expert in this field at all and didn't really give me much guidance.
Anyway several weeks along and I am struggling. Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of my options and how antidepressants could affect pregnancy?
