A member asked:

Ttc and lowering my dose of citalopram down to 10mg now however can't go lower as i go back to being emotional and not me!will it be ok being pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Studies say yes: There are many studies indicating the safetly of citalopram while you are pregnant. That being said, some women feel better from all the estrogen of pregnancy. It is a good idea to find a psychiatrist before you get pregnant, as pregnancy can have a range of emotional side effects.
