Should I worry about baby's development on antidepressants during pregnancy?

Patient's Query

I recently found out I am pregnant. I am currently on antidepressants (50mg quetiapine, 150m Lamotrigine and 20mg escitalopram) should I be worried about the baby's development. I also had a miscarriage before, what can I do to keep baby healthy, are there recommendations for supplements

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

Pregnant women should have normal worries when carrying a baby after a miscarriage. The medications you've been prescribed can influence the development of your baby but quitting them too quickly can also be dangerous. This is the reason why it is vital to discuss this with your doctor. To promote your child's health, eat healthy foods and take prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid.

I am not feeling well and satisfied in my life and also want to do crazy things that would enhance my motivation and skill

Male | 23

Feeling unmotivated and wanting to try new things is usually when we are feeling stagnant in life. Reach out and talk to someone you feel comfortable with about your feelings. Continue doing the things you like, step outside for a walk, or delve into a new hobby. Self-care and creating new sources of joy are methods of bringing your mood up.

I am using inderal 10mg twice and escitalophram 10 mg daily for anxiety from last 1 year.. Now i am good last time doctor said that we will reduce yout dose and then gradually quit this medication. Now iam far away from city and cannot go there kindly suggest me how to reduce dose

Male | 22

I advise against abruptly discontinuing any medication without consulting your doctor, especially when managing anxiety. Abruptly stopping drugs such as Inderal and Escitalopram can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. It is preferable to seek guidance from a psychiatrist or mental health specialist for a proper tapering schedule to minimize potential adverse effects. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly update them about your condition.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level

Male | 19

It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

I'm really depressed, I just want to give my best in exams so I'll be able to achieve my goals that I have set in my life.

Male | 22

This is more common than you may realize and could be due to stress affecting your body. When you’re nervous, it can make your body react in various ways such as increased heart rate and release of semen. Perhaps trying relaxation methods like deep breathing or talking about what’s bothering you with someone could help calm down your nerves before sitting for an exam.

The stress from work and the pressure to perform can really take a toll on our mental health. It's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. Depression and schizophrenia are serious conditions that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, genetic predisposition, and life events. Seeking help from a psychiatrist  was a good first step. The medication he prescribed, olanzapine, is commonly used to manage symptoms of schizophrenia. However, it can sometimes cause mood swings as a side effect. It's crucial to communicate openly with psychiatrist about these side effects so he can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Dealing with stomach issues like ulcers and GERD on top of everything else must be incredibly challenging. Pantoprazole is a standard treatment for these conditions, but it's essential to follow up with your gastroenterologist regularly to ensure it's effectively managing your symptoms. In terms of your current job situation at SBI, it sounds like the demands are adding to your stress levels. It might be helpful to have an open conversation with your manager about how you're feeling. Exploring stress management techniques, like mindfulness or exercise, could also be beneficial.
