Hi All,
Looking for some advice.
I was on Citalopram on and off for 5 years and stopped when I fell pregnant.
I was fine from then until now. The past few weeks I've experienced extreme anxiety and "obtrusive and obsessive thoughts" (quoting psych), something I've never experienced before - it's been awful for the past two weeks!
I went to the GP and then saw a psych at a mother and baby unit. They've prescribed me 50mg sertraline once a day and 25mg quetiapine 3 times a day.
I'm 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow and started the medication today.
Has anyone had any bad side effects for themselves or baby when taking either of these?
I asked about side effects for baby and was simply told "no, baby will be fine. We will monitor for withdrawals but that's just standard practise if any woman has been on an antidepressant or pain relief during pregnancy".
Any insight would be fab!
