When my youngest was six months old I was diagnosed with post natal depression and prescribed citalopram and advised to put myself first more. I started taking daily walks and started a degree with the open university. Fast forward a few months and I’m starting to think I can come of the meds.

It didn’t happen, my eldest was diagnosed with Leukaemia and as you can imagine life has never been the same. My medication was put up. Fast forward nearly 18months, I am nearly 8 weeks pregnant and have been advised by the dr to wean off the citalopram. I am struggling hard. I have another drs app in a week but until then I wondered if there were any other mums out there who have been told similar. If there are any mums who have carried on with citalopram throughout pregnancy.

I feel like I’m starting to drown in my anxiety and am really worried for my mental health if I come of the meds completely.

Thank you, also a pic of my beautiful brood to show them off and make me smile!!
