My current dose:
Ativan: 2MG in AM
Effexor: 75mg in AM
Seroquel : 100mg in PM
I have been on these current doses all 31 weeks of my pregnancy so far. I have heard from several doctors, psychiatrist and Maternal Fetal Medicine and they ALL have different opinions about each drug.
I have heard I will need to expect a stillborn. My baby will have horrible withdrawals. One medication is ok and the others are not. And so forth. Everyone says something different.
My two main concerns are; if I stop taking these meds while pregnant , I go into horrific withdrawals. Won't the baby as well?
If I stop taking these meds, my anxiety is still there and amplified by hormones. Is my baby more at risk from the medications or my VERY BAD anxiety attacks?
I never get a straight answer and have found little to no information about all of this.
One thing is, I have yet to hear from ANY other pregnant women on these drugs nor a woman who took them during pregnancy.
I feel alone and scared.
