Ok so I was on Zoloaft for about 3 m for anxiety depression worry 25mg and it helped a lot got me back into the world , I suddenly stopped no side effects it's been 3 weeks however I am now expecting my 3rd child and all the anxiety and depression is suddenly creeping up again !! I'm wondering if I should continue the Zoloaft I don't want to continue feeling like this ! I want a happy pregnancy without the anxiety and worries but I'm also worried it can effect my child . I'm 8 weeks .

    Hi same thing happened to me I stopped for few months and then everything came back. My advice is talk to your Gp for some information. I've heard is not good taking it while your pregnant but one of my friends was taking it when she didn't know she was pregnant and then she continued. But ask for advice. Regards Ilda xxx

      I did research and asked my doc about withdrawal symptoms I didn't feel that that was the case , I suddenly stopped and I was feeling ok like I had things under control and then the anxiety slowly started creeping up on me again and now I'm pregnant so I'm so in the middle about starting up again but o would hate to have to go through this my hole pregnancy

      As soon as I realised some symptoms I went straight to my Gp and asked for sertraline. I started taking before I got any worse.

    What does the doctor say about taking it while pregnant l? Aren't you supposed to gradually come off of anti depressants?
