Been to the doctors today to discuss my medication. My husband and I are trying for a baby and I had stopped taking my fluoxetine (Prozac) gradually over a period of about a month.
I managed this with my fist child until about four months into my pregnancy before having to go back on it.
This time I didn't manage so long and a couple of weeks ago things got really bad again I was struggling to function and I just couldn't stop crying so I went back on it.
I went to the doctors ask if there was something else I could take with lower risks. The doctor basically told me I would have to be pretty desperate to try and get pregnant while I was on any medication for depression as it was toxic. He told me I could just try and get through it without my medication or stop trying for a baby. He also said since I have a two-year-old I should just concentrate on her and not worry about having another one.
He finally said I could try googling the number for antenatal in my area but I couldn't help. I walked out of there crying and now I'm really not sure what to do for the best. I know there is no magic safe medicine but I just need some advice.
