Pregnancy and citalopram
Hi. I’ve just found I’m pregnant, no more than 2 weeks along, me and my partner are happy, I’m on 30mg citalopram but I’ve only been either given 20mg or 10mg each time because they never ended up dispensing both dosages to me, so it’s been up and down anyways, I got the next lot yesterday that will last a month both the 20 and 10mg dosage this time but got them before I found out I was pregnant, I know they’re dangerous and can be quite dangerous when taking them during pregnancy, I don’t want to go to the doctors as they’ll tell me to just stay on them and my anxiety will just allow them to say it and I’ll walk out without the answers I needed, so I was wondering if anyone has been on them and weaned off them when pregnancy and how they done it, I’ve been used to having 10mg every day I was thinking of taking 1 every other day for the first week and then one every 2 days for the second week etc until I go a week without them but not sure if this is the right way to go, any help or opinions would be appreciated.
