M.:
Please do NOT go off your meds without consulting your doctor.
First things first... who do you get your meds from? Your family doctor or your psychiatrist?
Second.. who told you you would have problems getting pregnant while on the meds?
I am a mother of a 19 month old little girl and I suffer from severe anxiety problems. I am on 100 miligrams of zoloft and feel great! When I got pregnant I was on 50 miligrams and as the pregnancy progressed, my psychiatrist increased the miligrams since your blood levels increase and would dilute the medicine. After giving birth I went down to 75 miligrams but for whatever reason I didn't feel as good on that and went up to 100 and haven't been better!
I made sure that my OBGYN knew and approved of me being on zoloft during the pregnancy. She preferred I not be on medicine but said their was not any danger to me or the baby. Very little of the Zoloft passes to the baby, and what does pass they said was not harmful at all.
Welbutrin I am not familiar with. I had severe side affects with Welbutrin and got off of that many years ago. It may be that the complication could be with that medicine, but I don't know.
What I do know is that stress and depression will make it very difficult to get pregnant and/or remain pregnant. If you are being treated for depression, then being on the medicine will help you eliminate one major hurdle... depression.
The key is to be sure that your Pychiatrist and OBGYN have the same information. Your OBGYN will possibly call your Psychiatrist which is a good thing.
I wish you the best of luck and regardless of what non-medical individuals tell you, you need to do what is right for you and your baby! Whatever you decide will work!
Sincerely,
H.
