Has anyone ever been on medication for anxiety and depression while pregnant? Did your baby experience any addicting behaviors or do you worry that they might?

When we started this journey 9-10 months ago, I went off one very strong medication (with Drs assistance, and dosing down properly) I got onto a “safer” medication to get pregnant on. With this being my third pregnancy, I got scared and just stopped taking them when we found out we were pregnant... I haven’t told my Dr, because it was my choice and I didn’t feel like it was necessary to mention.

Now I’m 4 months pregnant and I feel horrible, I have more bad days than good, I’m sick all the time, I often feel negative emotions or nothing, I’m behind on house work, I don’t want to go to work, I’m just a mess.

I’m not looking for medical advice, but I would like to know if other moms have been on medications for these specific things and what your experience was?

I have chronic anxiety, and depression. I’ve been on medication 5 years steady until now.
