Anna sounds wonderful. Hopefully having her will give you some of the 'good mood' highs that only a cute little baby can bring.
I want to have a baby, but I have some of the same worried that you went through. I'm on Lexapro (so far it's helping!). I've actually started tapering off b/c I want to get pregnant and dont' want to be on meds while doing it. But I have deep worries about my ability to manage stress, anxiety, etc. while pregnant. If I can even get pregnant, that is! I've had a few people tell me that they went off SSRI's during pregnancy and did OK, which is good to hear. But I'm such a hypochondriac...I worry that I'll worry too much!
I've often thought about adoption, esp. a baby from China or Korea. I think it's amazing & cool that you did it! If it turns out I can't have kids of my own, that's what I'd like to do too. It's nice to hear a success story.
Well, take care. I wish I could help with the drug stuff, but all I know is the Lexapro. I wish there was something out there that would work for you! Keep us updated on any changes or developments. Good luck.
