Medications: This is a decision that should be made with the psychiatrist, the obstetrician & the patient. As a psychiatrist i would recommend a selective serotonin reuptaker inhibitor over a benzodiazapine. Some women may elect to stop use of psychotropic medications but for others the risk of stopping outweighs the benefits.

Please see your Psychiatrist for an evaluation of your medication. There are other antidepressants you could take. See a Gynecologist for a physical examination to know if your symptoms are from a physical illness. A Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help. If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist please see another for a second opinion.
