Cbworthi,
We are going through the same thing. Our doctor recommended coming off Effexor and switching to a medication that has had more testing done on it. We are switching to Prozac. Apparantly our Doctor thought this would be safer than being on Prozac, and healthier than going without any medication, expecially since pregnancy can cause episodes of depression. We're on a plan to get off Effexor very slowly and are increasing Prozac as we do it. Read up on the withdrawal effects. Good luck to you, we're in the same boat, and decided it would be worth trying.
