CAUTION!!!!!!! This could happen to your baby.
This is what I have to say to any one who is pregnant or could become pregnant. If you are depressed get help indeed. However please think about this…
Wouldn’t it be better to seek some other kind of help for your depression? I have been through having a child with a birth defect and I will always be going through it. I can never turn back the hands of time and not take that pill. Unlike you I did not know. I did not have a clue. Until recently I did not know why Manie was born with a heart defect.
I looked and looked for a reason why and always came up with nothing. Until one day I found out that it was because I took paxil. The guilt I feel will never go away even though it was not my fault. If you think that you are depressed now wait until your life is flipped upside down when your baby is born with a horrible birth defect like Manie was.
Julie is so right, please seek other help, dont take pills while you are pregnant!Our family has up close and personally seen what Paxil has done.There are other forms of therapy, as Julie has mentioned,try that in place of popping a pill.Everyone who has a child, hold that child and thank God everyday that you have a healthy child.GOD BLESS you!Cindy
Thanks for the comment Cindy and the support. Love you sis,Julie
