TTC and Antidepressants

[MrsHuxtable]

Hello,
I'm currently on 20mg of Fluoxetine and am planning to start ttc from June onwards. I'm planning to phase out the ADs before then and will only go ahead with ttc if I feel stable without my meds.

I'm wondering if anyone else has done this, stopped the ADs before ttc? Or do people only stop taking them once pregnant or even take them throughout pregnancy?

I'm interested to hear different experiences.

TIA

Hi, I was on citalopram for anxiety/depression before ttc. Discussed with Gp and agreed to wean off them before ttc. Interestingly cos I stopped the ill at the same time, my sex drive went through the roof!
When I talked to my gp he said there's not really research on the effects of anti-depressants in pregnancy but my friend is a Gp and she said if you do need to take them sertraline us your best choice.
Good luck!
