I'm 25 weeks and I used to take Citalopram about a year ago. It worked great and I got to a point where I felt I didn't need it anymore and so weaned off it.

Now with being isolated my mood has plummeted and I can feel the depression sneaking back up on me. Has anyone been put back on anti-depressants when pregnant? Is it even possible?

Hi, yes I am currently on fluoxetine. I was previously on citalopram and found out I was pregnant when I was tapering off them to try a different medication. I’ve been on them since the first trimester though. They’ve been a godsend tbh, and if I hadn’t been in them when all of this had started I definitely would be now. Fluoxetine are one of the safest anti d meds during pregnancy x I hope you get sorted and feeling better soon xx

i am meeting perinatal mental health team tomorrow as my anxiety has been horrendous - having previously been very chill. am over 22 weeks and can't wait to start taking something. i have never taken anti depressants before but the mw today said it's very common and safe

Yes. I started citalopram in my 2nd trimester. I'm 35 weeks now and feel much more settled.

I took 50mg sertraline in both pregnancies.
