Switching to Celexa to avoid AD effects is a bad idea. Celexa would be much worse than Remeron. Really the best thing for you to do would be to try going off the antidepressants completely for a while. Taking a DHEA supplement would be a really good idea in my opinion (it will help with depression and help your baby). Read the GNC page; they provide a massive number of references, so I would trust their information. I would not trust
anything like Celexa.Check out

Remeron is a NaSSA by the way; it is a noradrenaline and selective serotonin antidepressant.> I've taken Remeron now for 5 years with no "poop-out." My pdoc told me that Remeron actually is less likely to poop-out than SSRIs. It's not an SSRI, but rather a novel antidepressant in a different class (sorry, name escapes me...tetracyclic?).
