> Hi,
> I am tapering off fentanyl before I have my baby and find myself plunging into depression. It's obvious what's going on, just was wondering if anyone had thoughts on safe medications to try to stave off the big D. I find I can't be honest with my doc because I'm afraid of hospitals. (Just a reminder I can't take AD's because I get manic) Thank you for your thoughts- judy
Judy,Congratulations!
How did you come to start taking fentanyl? Have you been using it strictly as an antidepressant? How well does it work? What are the side effects?
Maybe you'll get lucky. Many women experience a remission of depression during pregnancy. Unfortunately, I think this effect begins during the second trimester. I'm not sure, though.
