I'm about 6 weeks pg and I was on 150mg Sertraline when I conceived. I've been trying to cut down the dose but tbh it's making me feel anxious and down. Is it ok to be taking this much?

I had exactly the same experience @moomin11 - sleepy and I also felt better from day one.

Yes I'm taking 100 now and that seems to be ok.

You guys make them sound exciting to try, also what is Moomin?

Honestly @Neverbroken it was a revelation to me how different I could feel.

I didn't realise how rubbish I'd felt and for how long until I started them. I wake up now feeling content rather than low each day. Anti depressants aren't for everyone and I struggled a bit when the Dr prescribed them, I couldn't believe things had got so bad. But I thought I would give them a go and if I didn't get on with them I would stop. I would like to come off them at some point but they helped me alot.

That's good MoominMantra Smile I hadn't spotted we were both moomins!
