my sister was taking 60mg of citalopram during her 2nd pregnancy. Her pdoc was concerned about this but she was in such a bad state they strongly advised her not to stop or lower her dose. So she and her hubby decided that she should stay on her medication but she did taper back to 30mg of citalopram and went the hard yards. She has a beautiful, healthy 2 year old girl. The poor thing developed terrible post natal depression after her first child and fell pregnant again during this episode. It nearly pushed her over the edge. Now she is doing better than ever and she is on 225mg of effexor xr. It works really well for her and I haven't seen her this happy for 5 years.
