Antidepressant and pregnancy?

Question

Will sertaline 25mg cause something to happen to my baby ?? I just found out tonight and I also just got put on an antidepressant a week ago.

Answer

Ask your doctor

Answer

Talk to your doctor

Answer

I was on 100 mg all throughout my pregnancy and had a healthy son. This is the most studied SSRI. If your doctor prescribed it then it’s probably because the benefits outweighed any potential risks. Your mental health is important. It helped me be the best version of myself so that I could give my baby the best care.

Answer

You need to ask your doctor about all your medical and pregnancy related questions. Not an internet forum where most people do not have a medical degree.

Answer

You need to talk to your doctor, but 25mg of sertraline is a small dosage so you’ll most likely be able to be kept on the medication whilst pregnant

Answer

No. That’s what my sister was on with all three pregnancies and everything turned out ok. If you’re worried or unsure, talk you your doc

Answer

This is something to discuss with your doctor. I was on the same medication but a higher dose, when I spoke with my doctor she said it's one of the safer antidepressants for pregnancy, usually the one they try to put people on if they need it during pregnancy, but if I felt comfortable weaning off and I had a good support system in place she recommended that I try to come off it for the pregnancy. Many people stay on it. Really it depends on your mental state. Sometimes during pregnancy calculated risks have to be taken - in this instance, it's a calculated risk either way.

Answer

No. That’s the one med that is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Answer

Like others have said, speak with your doctor. I was on Wellbutrin throughout pregnancy and up to now. DD is 8 months old and healthy. For me, the benefits of being on it outweighed the risks.
