I'm 4wks and I have not seen a doctor.  I take Pristiq and afraid I can harm my baby this early.  Does anyone have any info?

I was on paxil a few months ago which wasn't really doing much for me so my doctor got to to cut down and go on to pristiq, while I was cutting down the paxil my partner and I decided to TTC, I ask the doctor if I should still start pristiq but she told me not to as Pristiq is harmful during pregnancy. However it may be more harmful for you to stop taking it, especially if it will mess with your head whether your taking it for anxiety or depression.  If you know your body and think you can, I'd cut the dosage down until you can get to the doctor, he will either get you to cut down and ween off to stop completely or slowly get you onto a safer one. Don't stop your medication completely and see your doctor as soon as possible to focus other options :)

I'd book up with you doctor as soon as possible as its best to see your doctor before you do anything love I take a list of medication like strong painkillers with antidepressants I have health condions so need them and my baby is doing great I'm 31 weeks and 2 days and have been taking them all the way through my pregnancy if I stop it could harm baby so have to keep taking them book up Monday and go down and have a chat and work out what will work best for you and baby love hope this helps :-) privet message me if you want to chat love congrats love xx

dont stop taking any medicine cold turkey because you could go through withdrawrals and loose the baby. wait till you see your dr to see what they recommend before you do anything
