Has anyone started taking it during pregnancy? I feel really guilty and worried about any problems it may cause? I'm suffering with mild antenatal depression iv taken it for 3 days so far and iv had a couple of headaches my head feels really cloudy and heavy is this normal? I know I need to take it for a bit longer for it to take effect. Thanks

I was on it prior to becoming pregnant, and took it all through pregnancy with no adverse effects. The doctor wouldn't have prescribed it to you if the benefits didn't out-weigh any problems. I''ve always found it makes my head fuzzy if I take it in the morning, so always take it at night, the fuzziness seems to clear by the morning. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I just came out of it 6 months ago,because I'm pregnant and I don't like when the GP said its very safe but take it as your own risk!
I'm on it for almost year and half before I become pregnant, I was suffer from panic disorder, I could live without this meds then but since I knew I'm pregnant I just cut it of! I know panic disorder won't kill me. And guess what I'm fine without it ... Thanks for my little baby in there xxxx
