"I'm thinking of Celexa??? Any thoughts on that, anyone?"
2 thoughts:
I tried Celexa. It was pretty good. It just didn't control my anxiety enough.
Keep in mind that your body chemistry will change during pregnancy. Sometimes the elevated hormone levels of pregnancy can actually boost your mood and you can get through the pregnancy without medication -- or, at the very least, on a very low dose. The first trimester is the hardest to get through. I was able to do no meds. with my first pregnancy and a low dose of Zoloft with my second pregnancy. But watch out post-partum -- that's when my mood took a major nose-dive. It's best to keep in close contact with your p-docs so they can help you monitor what's happening during the different stages. It's good that you're thinking about this ahead of time.
Best Wishes,
