5-HTP when pregnant?

I have been on citalopram for any years and took it throughout my first pregnancy. I really want to come off it and have been looking into a natural alternative and came across 5-HTP.

Obviously, like most things, it says not suitable for pregnant women but I have been reading that many women take these through pregnancy as an alternative to prescribed medication for the same reason as I am looking into it.

Does anyone have any experiences of it?

Hey what did you do in the end? I’m pregnant and previously took 5htp for anxiety. Would love to take again but scared as it says about not taking when pregnant
