Hello everyone, I'll try and condense this a little.
I've suffered with bouts of depression since my late teens, sometimes quite severe with hospital admissions. Have been on various medication over the years.
Currently, I'm taking Citalopram, I started with 20mgs back in September then up to 40mgs. Throughout, I have spoken with my GP about mine and my DH's plan to start ttc sometime soon. The time before last I went to see my GP she said that it was not advisable to get pregnant whilst taking AD's/Citalopram - but not impossible. I saw her again yesterday and she has said that if I was or wanted to get pregnant she would prefer me to be taking Fluoxitine/Prozac, I have taken this in the past, without much success. She also said that I should not breastfeed whilst taking any AD's.
I looked up threads on here relating to the subject and found that others have been given very different information, I also 'googled' and found more conflicting info. I'm very confused.
What are your experiences? Thankyou.
