As some of you may know I have been on ADs for the last 5/6 years except when I was pregnant and b/f DD and now, as I am pregnant again.
All my doctors, when I found out I was pregnant, said that if I could then coming off completely was the best thing to do. So I did, in 4 weeks I was completely off Venelafaxine, when the recommended weaning time for my dose was bout 6 months.
But I think that it was too soon and too fast. My world is crashing down around my ears and I'm terrified that someone will try to admit me to a psychiatric unit.
I saw my OB a couple of weeks ago and mentioned this, she said that in retrospect I could have stayed on the AD though I would have been advised to come off when b/f. As I only have about 11 weeks left till my due date, there was no point putting me back on as by the time the pills started to work I would have to come off again.
So my question is this: has anyone here taken ADs whilst pregnant and then stayed on them when b/f. If so what were you prescribed? I would like to go to my next appointment knowing that I may have opitions other then some sympathetic look and another psych appointment 4 weeks down the line.
TIA
