In reply to Treating depression in pregnancy, posted by capricorn on November 2, 2006, at 13:12:56
Thanks! I always have my eyes open for info on this subject.
The scary thing for me is that due to my age (40 next year) I would be a higher risk pregnancy anyway, regardless of meds, no meds, depression, etc.
Although I have had recurrent depression in the past, I just don't think I could take the risk of meds, especially combined with my age. And I do have a really good support network now and am working hard in therapy.
What I wonder is, when I am married, should I stop taking meds as soon as I am even thinking of getting pregnant, or, as soon as I find out I am pregnant? It seems it would make more sense to first slowly taper down BEFORE, right?
Or I could decide not to have children.
Or, I could decie to try, and not be able to, due to my age.
it's very confusing!
