Hello everyone! I am just about 24 weeks pregnant. I have been taking 100mgs of Zoloft throughout the pregnancy. Around the end of 1st trimester, I also started taking oxycodone 5mgs (2-3 a day). It is prescribed. I have one healthy child who is 5 1/2. I took paxil durin that pregnancy, as it was before they upped it to pregnancy class D. I tapered down to 20mgs during that pregnancy. It was hell, but the baby was and is super healthy.
I haven't tried to taper off of the zoloft. I don't feel like I can. I know it is currently considered safer than Paxil, but I am still worried a little because it is a relatively high dose. Has anyone taken this amount throughout pregnancy?
Also, I will need to taper off of the pain medicine soon. I want to start tapering immediately. I have such bad anxiety, though... I have quit these kinds of meds before, and I am really scared that I will be inconsolable. Has anyone had experience tapering? How gradual was it? What was it like??
I will talk to my doctor when I go in next time, but I really just need some advice, support, or stories of similar situations to ease my mind. I am reaaally nervous about it. I have my 2nd trimester ultrasound next week. I am so excited. It's hard not to worry, though.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!!
