Does anybody know if it's ok to be on
prozac while pregnant? Has anyone ever
been on it or another form of anti-anxiety
medication?
Thanks

It doesn't sound safe, but check with your
doctor.
This kind of thing is usually a matter of
weighing the risks and benefits.
Is the danger to the baby from taking
prozac because of the chemicals more or
the less than the danger of not taking
prozac because of the mental effects (if
you stopped taking it, is it possible that
you would do something to hurt yourself or
your baby?)

Although prozac appears to be safe during
pregnancy, there is no guarantee. If
you're on prozac for mild purposes and
think you can come off it during the
pregnancy without adverse effects for you,
then it's probably best to do that.
Whether you decide to stay on it or go off
of it, talk to your doctor. You'll need
to be weaned off the drug.
