anti anxiety medication

I gor diagnosed with depression and anxiety and age 16, three years later here I am and pregnant! I stopped my medication as soon as I found out (20 mg citalopram) but my anxiety and depression are so bad, I really feel like I need my medication. Has anyone taken citalopram or another antidepressent while pregnant? pros and cons? hellpp :(

I have been on antidepressents for about 5years and also stopped when got pregnant. It was hard to begin with but i think part of it is pregnancy hormones. It does get better..... But if you have any selfharming thoughts then you should concider getting back on antideppressents again. Good luck.

Zoloft is an option. My ob says thats all they rec with pregnancy.  U should take something if needed so u aren't as stressed. The less stress the better for u and the baby.
