Pregnancy and Effexor

by Fer, May 11, 2005 12:00AM
I am 6 weeks pregnant, and I am taking 600 mgs. of Effexor.  I am very worried about the affects on the fetus, but am also concerned about my mental health if I go off the medication or lower the dosage.  Please help me with any information.  --Fer

I had a good friend who was on Effexor and she had a perfectly normal baby.  Matter of fact her little girl, Marissa, is 3 now and is very intelligent.  I would consult your doctor with your concerns but if your doctor has left you on the medication it is for a reason. I am diabetic and they removed me from my pill form of the medication and put me on Insulin.  But the doctor indicated why, I am sure if your physician knows about the Effexor then they are leaving you on that for a purpose.
