I've been on effexor for a little over 2 years now, and honestly, it's probably saved my life. I've tried other drugs, but they either seemed to have no effect or just left me feeling "glazed over."
Anyway, I just found out that I'm pregnant---btw 4-6 weeks---and I'm very concerned because I've been on a pretty high dosage (300 mg/day). I'm definitely going to get off effexor for the time being--until I've delievered and finished breastfeeding--but am concerned that perhaps I've already done some type of damage to the baby through my meds. I haven't been able to find any information on effexor and pregnancy (except "don't take this if you are pregnant..."), and am really pretty nervous. Please help!!
