Have you taken either Abilify or Sereque while pregnant? Did the dr say it was okay? Were you able to BF? I am going to start taking it and I m TTC?
Abilify:
is a L3 for nursing (which the caution to check for somnolence in the infant)
is a C for Pregnancy... which is deemed safe, but an alternative may be better
Serequel:
is a L2 for nursing - safer and without any cautions. (L1 is the safest)
is a C for pregnancy
My aunt took zoloft her entire pregnanct and breastfeeds, I thought it was odd but her dr & ob told her it was fine.
I took seroquel after having my son to help with PPD in combination with zoloft and xanex. It is not a drug you can take while pregnant or breastfeeding, but your doctor should be able to tell you that. Each person reacts differently to different drugs, so one person can have a great experience while another can have a bad one. While I was on seroquel for a short amount of time it did help me get through my PPD. Please go see a therapist, and psychiatrist in additon to your OB as they should be able to work out a plan that is best for you at this time in your life.
A friend of mine's young son (11?) took Abilify and it really messed with his blood sugar numbers (he's diabetic). He had to stop taking it.
That's something I would research and ask the doctor about (especially if there's any indication/risk of gestational diabetes).
Good luck.
Please don't take Seroquel. There have been many lawsuits filed against AstraZeneca, just look it up on the internet.
My grandmother took Seroquel and it led to her death. Please avoid it at all costs.
