another slightly needy thread - antidepressant related

hello, sorry I know I've been needy on here lately.

I really want to TTC but have an autoimmune condition with anti ro antibodies and depression/anxiety. I have been off the rheumatology medication for almost a year, and on something far milder and unlikely to harm a fetus. I am still on SSRIs though and tapering off, but it's making me crazy.

I went on them after a bereavement made me a bit crazy, and they made it so much better. This was years ago, but now all the anxiety/depression/easy crying is coming back.

I really want to ttc, and if anything the tapering off the antidepressants is making me more obsessive about it, but I'm not coping very well.

Has anyone taken anti depressants when pregnant or ttc? I am nuts at the moment. All kinds of horrible thoughts. It's awful.

Which anti depressant are you taking? My doctor printed out lots of info for me about Sertraline being safe to take during pregnancy Smile

Thank you Tulips, it's Fluoxetine. I think it can cause heart defects, and while that's not a huge risk in most people I have the doublewhammy of antibodies. x
