is seroquel and serlift afecting the development of the fetus in a normal way?

Question

Is it true that I have to take a 1 year pause of taking seroquel and serlift if I want to make a flawless baby?

Answer 1

"Treatment with Seroquel is intended for adults 18 years of age or older who are not pregnant and are not thinking of becoming pregnant."1

"There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women and quetiapine (Seroquel) should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus."1 Seroquil does in some cases result in fetal abnormalities in lab animals. Lab animals may or may not be representative of human fetal development in toxicology studies. Seroquil is also noted for lab animal decreases in fertility rates among males and females. I've seen no indication suggesting you need to wait 1 year after therapy.

"Pregnancy: Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they become pregnant or intend to become pregnant during therapy."2

"Nursing: Patients should be advised not to breast feed if they are taking SEROQUEL."2

"Concomitant Medication: As with other medications, patients should be advised to notify their physicians if they are taking, or plan to take, any prescription or over-the-counter drugs."2

I apologize for not being familiar with Serlift so I won't offer any information in that regard. As always consult a doctor or other health care professional if you're taking medication and even considering becoming pregnant. You're likely to get good answers on Yahoo! but those will be mixed indistinguishably with the bad advice.

Answer 2

Taking medication during pregnancy is not recommended. You should really talk to your doctor about the risks. This question should have face to face contact and the opportunity to ask questions and you should know who is answering them. Get an opinion from both an obstetrician and a psychiatrist. Don't seek anonymous opinions from people you don't know and don't know you. The problems you have if something goes wrong will last for about 18 years at last!

Answer 3

remember any substance we injest has side effects
and Seroquel has been hit with one of the biggest class action lawsuites ever , it not safe for you much less a developing fetus, i would express caution and do a little research , please be careful !! of course sleep is important to all of us , i'd find a replacement for Seroquel !!
