    I'm a male so obviously I haven't or won't get pregnant. (I hope lol) but I used to be awful on citolpram aswell. I'm now on sertraline which is alot better. still get abit anxious but no horrible symptoms caused by meds. maybe ask your doctor about sertraline. don't worry some meds just aren't right for you. it's a job finding the right fit for you!

    I took Zoloft (Seretraline) my last pregnancy for the entire 9 months, I don't think I noticed any side effects and it really helped A LOT. My son was born on time and healthy. So just a suggestion, possibly try the zoloft low dose, it really helped me manage during my pregnancy and everything went really well!

      Oh by the way, I should have added that I took it for really bad anxiety!
