    It isn’t safe.

  • brittme:

    No, but you can feel like crap if you do. Come off of it slowly.

  • vacca33:

    You shouldnt stop cold turkey, there are a lot of side effects to that. Speak to your doctor or OB, many women continue to take their anti depressants durring pregnancy. Unless the wits you were taking them in the first place is gone, stopping will take carefull consideration

  • Djembe J:

    It is best to NOT go cold turkey. You should stagger your doses, and eventually vacant to every other day, every 2 days, etc. If you start to experience major withdrawals, go back on.

    YES….unsafe…make sure your regular doc talks to your OB. Question one to call the other…this is EXTREMELY vital. Many era two different specialists don’t know certain things that you don’t even know!

    consult a doctor before doing anything

  • Charles Nemo:

    You need to talk with your doctor. at least, AD meds. must be decreased in dosage at controlled reduction rates.. C.T. is not an option.

    Its not a terrible thing to not take it, but mentally might hurt you in the long run.
