Strattera/Atomoxetine and pregnancy?
I am wondering if anyone has taken this while pregnant?
I've only been on it for about 10 months, but it has been my miracle drug. My focus isn't perfect, but it is definitely better. The biggest thing, though, has been that it has completely eradicated my anxiety. I have never felt better in my life! I have so much apprehension about going back to feeling that regular anxiety. That being said, my husband and I are trying for another baby. And I am SO very scared of anything could cause harm to my unborn baby. I don't know how I would live with the guilt if they had an issue caused by my selfish wish to stay on my medication. Research seems pretty limited on the impact to the unborn fetus.
I also don't really know when I need to make this decision? I guess you have to taper off right? So, that means I would need to taper off prior to getting pregnant? And then if it takes us like 6 months to get pregnant its just a "sucks for me" situation where I have to go unmedicated?
I know you can't give me medical advice. I guess I'm just looking for people to commiserate with? Did you decide to go off or stay on? How was that experience for you?
