hi there guys.
my partner and I have been talking about starting a family, but the things that we have wondered is about the safety of being on medication and the risk to the baby?
I'm on 40mg of citalopram and i take it daily...we have done some research and it is quite mixed, some people think its important to remain on the drug for the saftey of the mother and child but others say that are some risks and may develop problems after birth.
Wondered if anyone else has any experiences or advice on the matter as would be good to get some feedback!
We will also talk to our GP to discuss but would be good to get some first hand experiences!
thanks guys
