You need to listen to your doctor, that is very important.  Make sure you are telling her just exactly what and how much you are taking.  You and the baby's safety is what is important.  Talk with her also about your depression.  There are things you can do for that.  This is not hopeless at all.  Keep talking with us~~sara

Hi there!  Listen to your doctor.  It's unsafe to stop abrubtly or taper down too much. Does she know how often you take the pills?  You need to tell her. Call on Monday,speak with the nurse,be completely honest about your use,and they'll get you through this. But,you need to talk with them right away. Don't worry...they'll help you.
