In reply to Effexor and pregnancy?, posted by Kori on August 1, 2001, at 16:45:33
> I have been taking Effexor for a little over a year now and just found out I'm pregnant. My doctor told me there hasn't been any conclusive studies done that says it's bad to stay on it - anyone know any different? I obviously don't want to be on it if it will hurt the baby! Please let e know if you have been on it yourself while pregnant - or know someone that has. Thanks!
I am getting married in October and we are going to try to get pregnant right away. I weaned down to 225mg/day from my 300mg/day to start getting off this drug. I, too, was told by my doctor that there is no conclusive evidence of problems during pregnancy/birth defects. I'm not taking any chances tho, and want to get off of it before I get pregnant.
Due to the effects of withdrawl that most people go thru, I would work closely with your doctor on this one!
Good luck!
