Good evening ladies.

Looking for a little bit of help.

When I was pregnant with my first I started to suffer with depression and anxiety. Since he was born it got a lot worse and I was put on tablets.

Now on my second pregnancy and was taken off escitalopram and put on fluoxetine. Fluoxetine isn't helping and they have put me back on escitalopram. I was told it's not safe for the baby as it's at more risk with this one but then this other dr has said it's fine. The risks are the same with this one as with any.

What are people's experiences with escitalopram and pregnancy. Was everything ok with baby ?

Thank you for any help
