[deenymcqueenygoreandguts]

so,
stopped taking cipramil.....want to kill someone one min want to kill myself the next.

joined ww to drop a stone,

will start on folic acid this week

need to start having sex i spose,

aving house extended to accomodate 2nd beast

feel like crap and just want to get it over with,

ama freak? ama normal? feel odd to say the least.
might not even happen,
would it be TERRIBLE to concieve on cipramil????? feel i may need to go back on it.
gonna make appointment with doc tomoz,
any one got any answers for me?

can i ask how old you are?

37
why do you ask?

you sound really angry and confused

first : see doctor, if you are struggling with depression that needs to be addressed. there are ADs that are safe to take

second : arrange some counselling, it will help in conjunction with any meds

third : wait until you feel more settled and together before TTC

you are not a freak, you are just struggling

i DO come across as angry dont i, just read back my post!
Nonono it was a stab at humour but it doesnt come across that way on line does it

was just musing really. Thinking about stuff and putting all of the issues down, thinking out loud.

feel great at the mo, ready to maybe start to decrease ad's just to see how i am, not on a big dose any how, just curious.
Feel more ready now to continue my healthy way of life to concieve.
we are actually very excited about having work done on the house and the thought of another child.
We are very very lucky to have our boy and so thats why i say it may never happen. Went through some difficulty getting him. so very lucky.
hmmm, was really just asking (badly, granted) what else i could do other than get a stone off, take folic acid and hope with fingers crossed.
the ad's worry me more than anything, cut out tea/coffee/alcohol etc seems a bit half hearted when i am on medication.
twas the overhang of pnd with baby no 1 btw.

well, if i was you, i;d go for it , after checking out whether you can safely take these ADs when trying to conceive..

best of luck

It is much safer all factors considered to take antidepressants under medical supervision than it is to have untreated depression during pregnancy, there's lots of research being done on this at the moment. Some Ad's are obviously deemed much safer'low risk, I'm not sure about Cipramil specifically but gp should know or if not ask for a specialist opinion.
I suffered from moderately severe depression during my pregnancy with ds (now 1) and was really concerned about the possiility of taking medication as I have had to previously, I was able to manage without but was lucky as some of the 'feel good' hormones kicked in at about three months.Gp was going to refer me if i needed them to get specialist opinion, I was certain that if I got too low i would definately go on them.
Goodluck

Sorry, to just jump in on your thread. I too had been taking this AD up to a year ago, when I slowly tried to take mysel off it with the help and support of my Doctor. I found it very hard at first, but knew that I could not do it until I was feeling much better in myself. You need to have a good relationship with your GP who understands you who can advise correctly your next steps.

Roseblade, I was glad to hear of your 'feel good' hormones. Eventhough after giving up my medication I still had my 'off' days but when I fell pregnant those good hormones were a real help. Although this is so, unfortunately I had a MMC last weekend at 15w. I am struggling too and my GP thinks that starting to get my depression in order, before TTC again is most important. As I am desparate to TTC again, I am trying not to go down the AD road again if I can help it, but should I need it, then I won't hesitate to take the advice of my GP.
