I've been on Effexor for over a year now. it changed my life and I swore when I experienced "normality" that I would never stop taking it. Now my husband and I would like to try for a baby. I don't know what to do. I know that I couldn't be a mother in my depressed state and I have heard that being depressed whilst pregnant can also affect the unborn child. But how can I knowingly risk effexor crossing the placenta and causing unknown damages to the baby? No one around me seems to understand the seriousness of my situation. I am really thinking that I should forget having a child of my own.
