Hi! If your research shows it can cause any issues you should talk to your doctor to get these medications switched! Zoloft is safe during pregnant and helps me a lot with anxiety and depression. There are other medications that are safe to take during pregnancy. I wish you the best

I would definitely speak to your doctor

I went off all on mine and I'm bipolar ... I was on Trintellix and Lamotrigine. But ob told me Lamotrigine isn't completely safe for baby after my psychiatrist said it was. I do know my Trintellix is safe for pregnancy but I decided to go off all meds. I'm probably going to break down and get back on the Trintellix thou

Hi! Pharmacist and local bipolar queen. Lamictal and seroquel are class C meaning they’re mainly safe in pregnancy. Paxil and Klonopin are class d. Meaning there is some evidence to harm to a fetus but if it’s deemed necessary to the mama the benefits to you outweigh the potential side effects to baby. Also if your not taking your Paxil daily, it won’t benefit you, Paxil needs to build up in your system for any kind of benefits. If your OB is aware you’re on these medications they’ve already weighed the potential affects to baby and you. It you’re worried id definitely ask them but don’t stress yourself out over it before speaking to them. Dr. Google is the worst :) and remember taking care of you is taking care of baby.
