I struggle with severe depression, and occasional suicidal ideation, so when I found out I was pregnant I immediately called my psychiatrist to ask him if I should continue taking my psych meds.

He said that while they are safe for pregnancy that he wants me to stop taking them and ask my OB about any med questions.

For the past few days I’ve been struggling a lot of these issues and I don’t feel like anything I do is helping.

I’m not sure what to do. My first OB appointment isn’t for another almost 3 weeks, and since this is my first pregnancy I’ve never seen an OB before.

I don’t know how I’m going to hold on that long with how I’m feeling.

I don’t want to call the office to ask because I feel like since I’m a new patient and haven’t had my first appointment yet they won’t be able to do anything without me seeing the doctor first.

Has anyone else struggled with similar issues? How did you/how are you getting through it?
