I only took Effexor, but used it after birth and breastfeeding. I found that it really did help me. Sometimes I feel bad that I took it during pregnancy as I obviously don't want to injure my baby in any way, but I am glad that I did take it. I worry now sometimes how my anxiety is going to affect this baby, but I am trying to stay calm and do everything that I can do to keep the anxiety at bay. My doctor said in my first pregnancy that sometimes the benefits of doing/taking something far outweigh the risks. Is is possible for your doctor to discuss the risks of the medication and any long term effects? Where I live, there is a telephone counseling place run the by the children's hospital that will review the medicaiton with you and give you information based on the studies.
