Does anyone know of a drug for OCD that CAN be taken during pregnancy? I have it too bad to go without meds at all. I plan on a child in the near future , but this issue concerns me.

the best thing to do in that situation is to contact either your doctor or a pharmacist. with a lot of medication there are some risks - but sometimes the risk of going off the meds is worse.

I'd trust the doctors at this. It's always dangerous to go on what friends say even if they have personal experience. Each person is her own case and I would not want anyone to risk their pregnancy or own health for medication. Twisted...

I agree with you both, but then doctors always err on the "covering their own a**" agenda, and I do believe being OFF would be worse for me...but that's a tough bind to be put in. Your sanity or your kid... confused

I have experience only on how doctors work in my own country. Here I can quite much trust that they know what they do. And I've seen a doc take a book from shelf and search when he wasn't sure. That was about medication too but obviously a different kind. biggrin

Veddhartha And I've seen a doc take a book from shelf and search when he wasn't sure. That was about medication too but obviously a different kind. biggrin Then you are lucky. SOunds like you had a good doctor. It's hard to find doctors who take their time and care anymore. So many are about cramming as many appointments in a day to make as much $ as possible and then they practically rush you out of the office without really listening to you at all. burning_eyes

Pharmacist is much better to discuss this about, next time you refill your prescription. Doctors know diseases. Pharmacists know drugs.

Yeah, but I knew more about psychotropic meds than my doctor did when I worked in mental health. So the safest thing is to talk to the person filling the prescriptions, who know all the side affects and contraindications with pregnancy and other meds. They deal is meds only, not diseases AND meds, like physicians do.
