Is Zoloft bad for TTC?
I have heard different things from different dr's. What are your thoughts?

Re: Is Zoloft bad for TTC?
I would think so. I took paxil for a little while, and my doctors said that while no studies have been done to prove that it's bad, it's highly recommended that you don't take anti-depressants while pg. My cousin is bipolar, and she was on meds. She didn't know she was pg until she was 3 or 4 months. We just found out that her baby is 80% blind. There's no proof that this is due to the meds she was on, but we all can't help but wonder.

Re: Is Zoloft bad for TTC?
the medicines for Bipolar are very different than Zoloft and much more teratogenic. Until about 6 months ago all the SSRIs were classified as safe. So now its a little iffy. I believe Zoloft still is in the safe category, and I think only Paxil has been upgraded.
You should talk to your MD about it

Re: Is Zoloft bad for TTC?
I currenlty take Zoloft..we switched because I was on paxil and its now a class D drug while PG, not safe....Zoloft is a class B drug, the same as tylenol. There are safe anti depressants to take when PG..but I would dicuss any meds with a DR before continuing or starting them.
My Dr's saw nothing wrong with taking the Zoloft.

I was taking Celexa while TTC and then when I got a BFP, I stopped immediately. The doctor said that it was fine!

I thought Zoloft and most other SSRIs are now Class C, probably a scare from Paxil.
Either way, if you need it, your need it. Just have a plan with your doctor for when you do get PG.

Re: Is Zoloft bad for TTC?
My SIL was on paxil when she conceived and her daughter has a few problems...vision/she needed glasses at 1 yr old, and now at 4 yrs old she is still a tiny thing. The 2nd child, is in perfect health and there were no meds involved.
I was on zoloft and celexa (not at the same time), and I just got FAT!
anyone else? and now, I can't get rid of it!
