[quote=Anonymous]I've been on antidepressants since early adulthood. When I got pregnant, my doctor recommended staying on them as there are negative outcomes from being depressed during pregnancy. I was on Wellbutrin and Trazadone which are less risky for pregnancy than certain SSRIs. I lowered my dose to the lowest possible maintenance dose during pregnancy. After the birth of my daughter, I asked my OB whether I should stop the antidepressants for breast feeding. He said that she would already have been exposed during the pregnancy so it did not matter at that point. My daughter is now a very healthy, active 5 year old and I don't think there were any negative effects. I'm not saying that there aren't risks - I was just giving my story. [/quote]
