Please discuss with: Your OB who knows you and your OB can refer you to pysch if necessary, if you need to be on them some are better and safer than others but that is too involved to discuss here so you need to make an appointment with your OB and book enough time to go over your symptoms and your OB can explainthe pros and cons and refer you to the right person if necessary.
