I’ve take Zoloft I have to because my anxiety cause me to have sinus tachycardia so when it kicks in my heart goes above 100 when I’m having a panic attack if you feel like it’s necessary to take of not then wait til after your pregnant I take mine as necessary so it keeps me calm

@Aaliyah Thacker i had a panic attack at the doctors and my hr was 135-140. i’m just scared of the side effects of the medicine at first. which is just me being even more anxious

I have taken them before and after my pregnancy I was taking the because I have high anxiety don't be scared of the side effects it will help you with your panic attack and it won't hurt the baby.

I’m currently taking them right now I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my third and honestly it’s made everything better for me. I’m not depressed I feel happy I’m able to do stuff that I normally dread doing without feeling overwhelmed as much. I was scared too but after doing research and knowing that I don’t want to go through ppd again and was having pregnancy depression in the beginning it’s been super helpful.

Plus your ob should wean you off in the third trimester and then put you back on them as soon as the baby is born and you can breast feed with them. I highly recommend taking them if you are having anxiety and depression but if they don’t work for you after 3 weeks of taking them definitely talk to your doctor. After 3 days of taking them for me I already saw a huge difference in myself. And after 3 weeks I was a completely different person I still struggle but not where I was trying to bed rot. The only down side was the first 3 weeks not being able to eat and feeling queasy but afterwards I started feeling better and more like myself

I have severe depression and anxiety when unmanaged by medication. My OB was very clear that the risk is so minuscule, and the benefit I experience so great, that it would be worse to stop the medication. A close friend of mine stopped her medication during pregnancy and experienced an episode of psychosis (this is an extreme example- but still worth mentioning). Basically, if you need it to function, take it. What’s good for the mama is good for the baby.
