A member asked:
Can there be a risk to the baby in stopping prozac (fluoxetine) during the second trimester?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: If mom is stable through the balance of pregnancy there is no significant effect on the fetus if you stop the med however, a baby needs a fully functional mom to thrive well & mom should not stop the med if she needs treatment to stay healthy enough to care for baby after birth.
