Oh hunny you need to stop taking immediately!!!! Any medications can harm your baby, you need to talk to a doctor right away if you have a condition but yes paxil can be very harmful to your little one!!!

I can't stop completely cause there are withdrawal symptoms. I am waiting for my fam doc to call me back and let me know, but I have my appt with my obgyn tomorrow so I guess I can ask him too. I cut myself down though from 1 pill a day to 1/2 a pill every 2 days. But it is bad for me. I was bprn without serotonin, so this "stabilizes" me. I was extremelly depressed and suicidal growing up and have been on paxil now for almost 6 yrs. It has helped enormously so i've gotta check with doc to see which outweighs the other.
