Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I was on effexor when I conceived and could have stayed on it but chose to ween myself off which I did with the help of my doctor. So far I haven't had any problems with depression while pregnant. My niece took effexor and then switched to prozac during her pregnancy due to a massive depressive episode. She is still taking them now and breastfeeding. I think they weigh the minimal risk to the baby against the health of the mother........and I don't think there is much risk to the baby from antidepressants.
