To All,
I have yet again to return to the bewildering question about which antidepressants are "safe" in pregnancy.
What are our general opinions about this?
I have a woman who I treated previously who had a great response to Effexor. Now she is relapsed and pregnant.
Reprotox and the literature seem to suggest Effexor is safe, but it is technically class C so I feel the safer route would be an SSRI.
I know about the neonatal withdrawal syndromes with SSRI's, but these cases seem to be mild.
Please share your knowledge.................................
