IMdone...thanks for the clarirfication on "bennies". See how much I know? LOL.
I'm posting a link to another thread the OP has up in the depression forum. I know I don't always check a poster's history...but I think it is SO relevant here. People giving advice need to see the whole picture, IMO.

And, in the OCD forum:

In each forum, we're only getting a partial picture of the extent of the issue. Op is only listing one or two meds per forum.
She posted in the anxiety forum as well, but again about the Cipralex. I think she may be having trouble navigating the site...so I wanted to make sure everyone has all the info.
I'm hoping and praying my hunch is not right. I'm fearful that the OP is not telling her OB the extent of the psych meds she's on, for fear they will be discontonued...and the substance abuse because she's just fearful.
sweetluvchild...if you ARE scared, that's okay...that's normal! But, imagine how much scarier it would be if you find out that there is something wrong with your baby due to the meds and/or illicit drug use? That won't be "fixable". YOUR health is at risk here too, bigtime!
As far as the psych meds...the doctors will work together to find the safest options for you AND baby, while trying to keep any symptoms manageable. There's ALWAYS options. What ISN'T an option is staying quiet.
This is weighing on my mind...I hope you reply up here again...please just be honest with the great folks here. No one is here to judge you...everyone just wants to help.
