Hi Pregnant,
I feel so badly for you, I would not want to be in your situation, but unfortunately you have to do what's best for your unborn child right now. I'm not sure why doctor's all have a different answer when it comes to medication, you'd think they would know more about what they're prescribing their patients. As far as being on the drug while pregnant, I don't think it's a good idea to be taking any kind of drug, but it's all left in your own hands if wether you want to quit or not. I tried weaning off slowly a few months ago, and it almost did me in, so you might want to take some counselling if you decide to quit all together. I'm sure it will not be easy, but you have to start somewhere, after all, your unborn child deserves the best care possible.
I know you'll do what's best, hang in there, and best of luck. Keep me posted.
