PND, AD's And TTC

[nefisher]

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with PND in June and am on 225mg of venlafaxine. We are thinking of trying for another baby and I will be making an appointment to see my GP for advice, but was just wondering whether anyone has tried for a baby whilst on AD's and their experience.

I don't have any experience of this but I do know that there are AD's that are safe to take whilst pregnant. Not sure about the one you're on though. Definately ask your gp about it.
Good luck ttc!

I was on an AD called paroxetine when I decided to ttc number 3. My doc changed me to Fluoxetine which she said was safe when TTC and for the first two trimesters of the pregnancy.

I know people who've been on ad's throughout a whole pregnancy though.

Speak to your GP... I dont know about breastfeeding and AD's if you were planning on BF of course..! But as MM said I know there are a few that you can take while up't duff

Good Luck with TTC...

TTC with PND? Gosh you're brave. I'm struggling to see the end of each day let alone plan for a 9-month stretch!!!

Best of luck hun

As someone else said I think Fluoxetine is OK in pregnancy though obviously it's best to come off them if you're well enough. Fluoxetine is also a generally good AD I think. I liked it. Until I got Rash of Doom

i was on fluxotine when i fell for Isla and we'd been trying on it, the doc wasnt concerned!

Managed to get off it myself by 8 weeks!
