I was taking mirtazapine before and just found out im pregnant, now im really anxious about whether to continue or not. Planning to call my doctor first thing tomorrow. Just wanted to hear if anyone has been through a similar situation.
Please dont decide this on your own. Any mental health medication in pregnancy needs the doctor who prescribed it to weigh things for you. Never stop or continue it without talking to them, both have considerations. This is really a must-ask-your-doctor one.
When I asked about my medication, my doctor said these decisions are made case by case, balancing your wellbeing and the baby. They sometimes coordinate with a psychiatrist. So there is no simple yes or no online, your treating doctor has to guide this one specifically.
Take this straight to your doctor, dear, dont carry the worry alone. They will look at your health and the baby and decide whats safest for you. And please dont stop it abruptly on your own.
First, it is okay to need this medicine, please dont feel guilty about it. I was on something for anxiety and my doctor and psychiatrist managed it together through pregnancy. The decision was very personal to my case, so please loop in your doctor before any change.
This is genuinely a doctor-only question, not something to take from a forum. Stopping suddenly can be risky too, so dont do anything on your own. Please speak to your psychiatrist and gynac together about it.
