Pregnant with sever depression ,?

Question

medicen given epitril 0-0-1, clonil 50 - 0-0-1, lincer 100-1-0-1,

how safe are this drugs to a 6mth pregnant lady, what are the side effects on mother and child (in and when out ).

Answer 1

they are safe until they tell us otherwise! i suffer clinical depression and have since 15. my last pregnancy i chose not to continue with the meds BUT had put in place a plan of action and informed partner and close friend so they can help filter depression to normal prego behaviour. not a docs advice, but as a person who been there done that, at this stage i wouldnt consider dropping but monitoring - remember it takes atleast two weeks for the meds to take effect but its in there for while anyway when you stop -you are now in the last stage of pregnancy so its time to take care of you as soon enough there will be barely enough time for you! YOU are priority, so care for yourself.  There will be no-gooders who dont understand the benefits of your meds but ignore them and get some good medical advice to ease your fears. good luck, wish you well!!
