I came off of 30mg quite abruptly when I discovered I was pregnant. I'm now 21 weeks and incredibly low. No motivation, no enjoyment in anything. I really want to savour and enjoy this pregnancy but I'm not feeling it. It's affecting my home life and my other children and I'm struggling to find motivation for them too.

The doctor has suggested going back on a low dose and has referred me to the mental health team however I'm so scared to start taking it and for the baby to have withdrawal symptoms.
