Hi I just wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and can give some advise. I've been on 100mg sertraline for depression for nearly a year now. I'm currently 28+6 and starting to worry about needing to wean off before my due date. I've spoken to a consultant who said it was the best thing to do as the baby can experience withdrawals in 1st few days if I'm still taking them. I spoke to my midwife and she wasn't as strong in her advise and said it's up to me and I need to think what's the best long term. I'm reading loads of conflicting advise about it and I'm really confused.
On one hand I definitely dont feel depressed anymore and the sertraline has obviously helped. I think I'd be more inclined to come off but then I'm anxious about the lockdown situation and the extra stress of that. My family live other side of the country and it's been hard not seeing anyone. I'm wfh and dont see friends because of lockdown. I just think this could be the worst possible time to try and get off the meds. But then I feel guilty for what my baby might experience of I dont.
Sorry for the long message but I really dont know what to do. Has anyone been in the same position, what did you do and what was the outcome?
