i have been on sertraline for the past 6 years for anxiety disorder and am happy to be on them as i have a normal life. the thing is i would like to have another baby and would also like to be able to stay on my meds as i know i would deal with this alot easier knowing i could still take them but my doctor would like me to change meds which ive tried in the past and they just dont suit me. is it my choice at the end of the day knowing all the pros and cons to this medication during pregnancy.

You really need to discuss this with your doctor, but sertraline is pretty safe to take while pregnant.

I use rxlist to check on side effects and informing guardians and caretakers of patients. My pocket medicine list, epocrates, indicated that there were risks of neonatal serotonin syndrome in the third trimester, neonatal withdrawal in the third trimester, and pulmonary hypertension in the first 20 weeks of gestation. These aren't certainties, they are risks. Many people may not have them. I think rxlist gives the percentages, which are usually small. So it depends how much of a gambler you are.

the risks to a fetus are pretty high on zoloft. it is your choice ultimately as to whether you change or not. go to rxlist.com or webmd.com and read before you make up your mind.
