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 while pregnant?
Thanks

Hello scarlett, I am 5 weeks pregnant and
I was prescribed celexa 20mg and
propranolol 10mg around november of last
year. I was curious whether I would have
to discontinue taking these medications
where I am now pregnant. The doctor said
that I can continue these drugs, that
there is no evidence that it will harm my
baby. Although where my nerves are quite
bad (i have gad with panic attacks) he
said that it would cause more harm for me
to go off of the medication rather than to
remain taking it. That information came
from the doctor who will be delivering my
baby. So, although my medication is safe
to take I would check with your doctor
just in case. Better to be safe.
Good luck, and best wishes.
