Has anyone been on antidepressants or beta blockers when pregnant?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I finally figured out my meds after 2 years and they're working perfect for me, but I want to become pregnant soon and I'm scared to come off both propranolol LA and cymbalta. But I know they're both class C drugs. Has anyone had experience with this or being on meds when pregnant?

    You need to discuss these medications with your GP especially if you are expecting a child. The problem is the medication will be in your Blood Supply, and this could pass down to the new borne

      Yes I know I am going to my cardiologist and referred to a gyn before I start trying but I just wanted to hear other people's stories. Maybe I will go to a pregnancy forum that would be more appropriate thanks.

    **This is a must to discuss with a gyn who knows a lot about meds and pregnancies. Don't wing it get the info you need. There have been a few people on here with bad anxiety that became pregnant and had a ton of anxiety. Its ten months..40 weeks so you want to be very sure you know all you need to know and what is safe or not. Many go off everything for the obvious fears of it effecting the baby. You can look at statistics too and maybe a pregnancy forum and ask as well. One in five is a lot of people so I would think that topic has come up in pregnancy forums.
