I'm concern for my 5 month unborn child i'm pregnant with. i've been constantly stress medication which is 40 milligram of celexa (citalopram) and 250 milligrams of bupropion and in at night 50 milligram trazodone?

Doctors talking?: Your concerns about the effects of medication on your child are appropriate. Each situation is unique, but it's critical that all doctors involved in your psychiatric and prenatal care are aware of each other's orders, consult with each other, and discuss the tradeoffs with you of continuing or altering your treatment plan. If you're not sure, check and insist they address your concerns.

Concerned about you: the combination of these 3 medications is kind of risky, they can interact together causing irregular heart beats, you are almost maxed out on doses, why on bupropion? Is it for smoke cessation? if you are worried about your baby you shouldn't smoke to start with or be around smokers, I know it's hard to quit but much harder on your unborn child, celexa (citalopram) is cautioned in last trimester, c ur MD

Preg on celexa (citalopram): of the SSRIs Paxil (paroxetine) is most related to effects . If you are 5 months pregnant you can have a sonogram and that will ease your concerns, Sometimes with the SSRIs, newborns may have low blood sugar and should be monitored at birth or this. Please discuss this with your doctor, there are many women on SSRis who are pregnant.

Complicated: There is no conclusive evidence to date that anti-depressants cause fetal malformations.There is evidence they may slightly increase the risk of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension in newborns.Some newborns of mothers on anti-depressants exhibit a temporary anti-depressant withdrawal syndrome.Any possible risk to the fetus needs to be weighed against the risk to the mother of stopping the medication

Role for therapy?: This might be a good time you and your psychiatrist to consider if it would be worthwhile for trial of reducing the medication at this point until your pregnancy is over or almost over. ALso if you are not involved with psychotherapy perhaps this would be a good time to explore this type of therapy to help you with you stress and depression.
