Cut off anti-depressants?

Question

I am trying to get pregnant right now, but I am on anti-depressants (Lexapro). What would you recommend I do - get off completely, ask for Zoloft or switch to a supplement based plan? I have had a miscarriage in the past so everything in my life I am putting under the microscope right now. 
Any stories and tips you could share?

Answer

talk to your healthcare provider before stopping or lowering your dosages, it could have bad side effects if you stop or cut back

Answer

I'm on sertraline (Zoloft) and I'm pregnant now. I spoke to my Dr. and they said it's completely safe for me and the baby.

Answer

Speak to your doctor they can advise you

Answer

You can still take Lexapro while pregnant. I stopped taking mine just to be sure though and i had extreme hatred for the baby after i stopped taking it. So likely you'll be ok, BUT if you have suicidal thoughts and you take the medicine to help it then id recommend staying on Lexapro throughout the whole pregnancy, maybe at a lower dose if you don't feel safe but definitely take it if you really need it.

Answer

My ob suggested if I was able to function regularly with no little to no difficulty without my anti-depressant..then I should considered being taken off of it slowly; however, after speaking to my doctor.

Answer

I was actually put on lexapro while pregnant for depression and it has definitely helped.
