4 weeks gone and on Duloxetine

[runnergal]

Just found out i'm pregnant, am really happy but am just waiting to see the doctor...i currently take Duloxetine. Got the dose down to 30mg every other day before i found out i was pregnant but now am petrified that i will have harmed my baby or put it at risk. Lasted 2 days without the Duloxetine as they sent me really dizzy and feeling spaced out...so had to take one.
Also really scared i'll get PND ....

help!!

Congratulations!

Duloxetine hasnt been studied in pregnant women so they may want to swap you on to safer antidepressant whilst your pregnant, or if you dont want to take any or have tried the safer ones before they can always just start the duloxetine after birth (although not recommended if you want to BFed).

There are alternatives and people do take it pregnant it depends on the risks of your depression.

Try not to worry.
