I've been being treated for depression for years and when I became pregnant I quit my medication. I became more depressed after that than I had ever been before. Apparently, this happens sometimes. My OB prescribed Prozac as it's been used during pregnancy for a long time, but I'm still nervous about taking it. I discussed this with my physician, and he assured me that the benefits will outweigh the risk because my depression has been so severe. I was wondering if anyone has taken this during pregnancy and how it worked for them and if there were any negative effects they experienced. Any advice on the matter would be appreciated.
