Pamalor and pregnancy
Avatar
I have a metabolic disorder requiring me to take Pamalor 20 mg daily. Can this harm a fetus. I had a miscarriage at 8wks and thought it could have been due to the drug. But then 4 months later I had a miscarriage at 6wks not being on the drug for 2 months. Now I am getting sick from not taking the Pamalor. My hub and I would like to try to have a child . Should I take the Pamalor? What kind of birth defects can it cause?

What symptoms are you having not being on the Pamelor? I was on Pamelor approximately 2 months for depression/anxiety. It did not help the depression, so I stopped taking it as well. I am still experiencing depression/anxiety, but none of the antidepressants/anxiety meds have worked for me or made my symptoms worse. I do not know anything about taking Pamelor during pregnancy, but hopefully, it will be out of your system soon and you will feel better and be able to have a healthy pregnancy. Have you talked with your doctor about an alternative medication that may be safe for your metabolic disorder? I hope you get to feeling better soon - good luck!

excelerated metabolism,diarrhea,nausea,constant hunger. I don't need it for depression but it regulated my digestive system. Over the years the doctors have tried many things and nothihing worked. When I had me last child 15yrs ago I suffered from post partum depression and the dr put me on Pamalor and Prozac. It fixed my depression and worked great. And we discovered that it cured all of my metabolic disorders as well and I was able to sleep ( I have also been an insomniac ever since I can rember.)
