Sertraline

Hi, I'm new here. My question is, I take Sertraline 100 mg for anxiety/depression and I have done for many years. I just wondered if anyone else is similar and knows about taking this during ttc and pregnancy? I'm waiting for a gp appointment to discuss but have to wait 2 weeks 😩

Hi there, I take this and contacted my gp when I found out I was pregnant and was advised it was fine to continue taking. ☺️

They will likely lower your dosage during pregnancy as 100mg is a lot

Sertraline is the safest anti-depressant for pregnancy, I took it throughout mine and still am whilst breastfeeding. It shouldn’t be a problem.

I take it and I'm TTC I had to switch because I used to take Effexor. I'm taking 50 mg daily. It's the safest to use when pregnant so my gyno switched me to it since I am TTC

Thank you everyone, that's reassuring. I'll speak to my GP and plan to reduce to the lowest dose/50mg 🤞😊

The first time I was pregnant i was on 100mg and the doctor said they had no plans to change that. Unless I wanted to. They said it was the safer option as they wouldn’t have wanted a relapse. Especially as I had failed to come off them previously, which ended up in a relapse and an increase
