Hi ~ I've just joined this forum :) I was on Effexor XR (75 dose) before falling pregnant with my first daughter. I spent hours talking to doctors and researching the internet for possible side effects as soon as i found out i was pregnant. There seems to be little information about the known effects. With the help of my doctor and husband, i chose to cease my medication. I had the most terrible time and at 19 weeks made the decision to resume the effexor. It basically comes down to a risk vs benefits decision, that only you can make. I then chose to bottle feed my daughter. I am pleased to tell you that I have 2 beautiful daughters who apart from the usual childhood cold and bug, have no other side effects, and we are expecting our 3rd child in May 2006. I have continued on the effexor throughout all my pregnancies. I wish you all the best with your decision, remember to work closely with family & your doctor with what ever you choose to do. Jess xo
