Hi guys, I've posted this before but got no replies so thought I'd try again.... does anyone take fluoxetine while pregnant? Is it dangerous to the baby? Thankyou

What does your GP or pharmacist say?

Hi, they've just said you've got to outweigh the good and the bad, they would rather pregnant ladies didn't take anything.

Have they said there is an actual risk or just we would rather you didn't?
Are you actually pg?
How far along?
I suppose it also depends how bad the symptoms are. I have anxiety and depression. At the moment I can manage perfectly well without medication. If I was really unwell that would be different.
