A member asked:

Hi. i am 5 weeks pregnant and am wondering is prozac ok to take while pregnant? i'm terrified i will harm my baby. i've been on it years for anxiety. my own gp has said it is better i stay on it. is it safe in your experience as doctors ? thank you?

Yes: Prozac is relatively safe during pregnancy. Ideally one would take no medications other than those helpful to the pregnancy itself but if the condition you are being treated for would cause greater stress, then the medication is well warranted. Try to take the lowest dose that is effective and try other methods or stress reduction during the pregnancy to alleviate the condition.
