OK, I've just started Clomid -- after a complete meltdown last week over the reason for the Clomid.
Right now, I'm taking 40mg Cymbalta, 300mg Wellbutrin XL, 100mg Provigil (which I don't take some days, if I'm feeling too anxious to begin with), and 30mg Prevacid which I should be able to stop very soon.
I have read the articles that say, well, ADs are not great during pregnancy, but if you gotta take 'em, it's better to do so. But I've also read the things that make me think it might be better to try to get off them for the duration. (Those of us who know me can stop laughing and pointing fingers now, 'K? ;-}) Before I really make any decisions about this -- heck, before I even discuss it with Dr CattleProd -- I want to do a bit more pondering and reading.
Soooo.......
Does anyone know anything from first hand experience? Can anyone tell me about Clomid experiences? (I've been told that it's likely to be worse for me than for my husband who has to be around me. True?) Does anyone here know anything about the relative safety of the various ADs?
Now, mind you, I'll be high-risk, if we even manage to accomplish this. And I'm terrified by the whole thing, although fully committed to doing it if at all possible. Although, I'm terrified by the whole thing. Or did I mention that a few times?
Also, anyone know anything about anxiolytics that are safe in pregnancy?
