I have been on 30mg of ''Mirtazapine'' for over a year now due to severe depression. I am currently 19 weeks (20 on Friday) and my GP recommended that I do continue my medication as he said that it would be for the best.
He did as my medication is such a new drug, there hasn't been many trials done on it so they aren't too sure if it's 100% safe or not.
He did state that because my baby will have withdrawal from my medication he/she may have to spend some time in hospital to be monitored.
Of course, I worry about my baby's health, but I am so scared of relapsing if I stop taking them.
Any positive pregnancy/birth stories of mama's who have taken antidepressants during their pregnancy?
