I really cant tell you exactly what the risks are, but I'd strongly advise against it. Any drug you take will probably be shared with your baby, and withdrawal after birth is possible. There's also the problem of exposing a developing brain to such harsh drugs. On the other hand, being severly depressed during pregnancy could throw your hormones and whatnot out of whack.

Are you currently pregnant, or are you still considering it? If so, it may be most prudent to put off having a child until you have your depression under control.
