The health of your baby should not be affected by your husband's drug use, unless it was excessive.On the other hand if a woman uses drugs or alcohol while she is pregnant, they can very seriously damage the conceptus or embryo or the fetus.

First off honey if your having this headache plz tell your doc or obgyn..any problems that happen during pregnancy become a whole nother' story...it can be a symptom of something else..and as far as the excedrine goes ....there are issues in pregnancy then can be devasting like preclampsia...where the blood pressure elevation becomes dangerous to you and your baby...I wouldnt think anything that could increase BP would be good at this time or any other along your pregnancy journey...and thats what excedrin is..basically tylenol and aspirin with a jolt of caffiene in it to get to to work faster.....\nfor the mirgraines you should see a doc..if you have had them that long....the fact you explain them on one side shows they are most def migraines and you are to young to deal with that pian...my mother had them from the age of 15 till 45 before doctors had the sense to hlep her..they simply put her on a pill that stopped them dead in their tracks..its awful for you to have to deal with them..espcially during pregnancy....instead of numbing the pain..try to stop the migraines all together...\n\ngoodluck and many congrats on your preg...your about to have a wonderful ride...!!!!!!!!!!1

Zoloft is also used to treat depression and other illnesses.  I think it would be best to stay out of it all together.  This is the woman that your son chose and the one who makes him happy.

I was put on Citalopram (Cipramil) as the first medication for my depression. I was on it for about a year and then I think my system just got used to it. Unfortunatley I was then put on Efexor, which caused some very bad side effects.\n\nI have now tried every anti-depressant available to me (I'm 24) and for me, Seroxat works.\n\nIf you really want to give up, here is what I recommend - I tried to do this and it reduced the electric shock sensations in my head and sickness of withdrawal.\nAsk your docotr to prescribe you a low dose of Prozac instead of the Cipramil. Prozac is quite non-aggressive to come off of, so after your system has got used to the Prozac, you can then come off it.\n\nWorked for me...til I had to go back on meds, but hopefully you can do it. Good luck!!

Anything that effects your brain chemistry will likely interact with both the depression and the Prozac.  It's a bad idea to take anything that effects brain chemistry (anti-histamines, melatonin, whatever) unless your doctor knows. If your wife has actual clinical depression than she should be seeing a psyciatrist (as opposed to a gp or family doctor).  One of the reasons is they are experts at determining how psychotropic drugs interact with eachother and other treatments like over the counter medications.  Also, insomonia is a major part of depression both as a cause and as an effect.  Your doctor should be treating the insomnia as part of the treatment for the depression.  It's probably a bad idea to use nervous system depressants or hypnotics (example: ambien) but a new drug has come out recently that doesn't have alot of the problems associated with traditional treatments for insomnia.  That drug is Rozerem (look it up on the web to see what I'm talking about).  The important thing to understand about these treatments is that they need to be monitored.  You go back every few weeks to let your doctor know what your progress has been and so he can fine tune your dosages or discontinue ineffective treatments in favor of more effective ones.

you need to speak with a Dr.before you start any medication if you are considering a pregnancy. if you are having major problems in your life, why would to want to have a baby before you resolve your issues. please note a  lot of medications cause major complication to a developing fetus if they are taken during a pregnancy. you need to contact a Dr.  for both your sakes.

I take Xanax myself..not that often though...yes it is a good medicine for anxiety at least for me it is..i don't notice any side effects really...just the tiredness and drowsiness that comes with it..I wouldn't recommend taking it then going any where..however I'm not a doctor and so I would check with your doc before you take anything..I'm not a doctor...but my experience has been good with is so far..it seems a lil bit mild...i'll usually take a half of a pill and that seems to do me just fine...my mom and i both take it through prescription but we do not use it that often..hope this helps.....i take paxil as well for anxiety and depression and that helps a lil bit to...remember though consult with your doctor before doing anything or taking anything:)

NO!!!!  NO!!!! NO!!!!\nHaving schizophrenia is something you have to deal with every day all of your life & it affects every aspect of your life.  Having postpartum psychosis is a temporary problem that when treated goes away and doesn't return--unless you have another baby and have the same problems again!  PPP may seem to some to come on suddenly--but the signs are present before the child is even born--a good doc would take notice of it, if they don't the family and friends of the mommy to be would.  I've had ppd-postpartum depression- and it wasn't something that just happened over night, it had been building up for months:  2 kids under 3 & another one on the way, middle of a divorce from a physically & mentally abusive man, trying to work full time and finish college--it would make any one depressed, add the hormone fluctuations of pregnancy & Poof!  You've got a Mad Mommy!

OK, I'm bipolar type II, but whatever. Seroquel is well known as sedating, so it's not surprising it's making you tired, particulalrly with a new baby to deal with. The metallic taste seems to be a side effect of a load of psychiatric drugs, but believe me, it will pass in a few weeks.\n\nDo not drop the drugs, whatever you do. Untreated, you will only get worse, and you will be putting your baby at risk. If you are bipolar 1, try talking to your doc about Lithium: it's usually the first choice for Bipolar 1, and dirt cheap as well.

Buspar blocks certain neurotransmitters in the brain associated with anxiety. As with any medication you can over do it if you take too much. however ,it is not a controlled substance like Xanex or Klonopin. I was on it before and it did not help me but my friend also takes it and it helps cut down her nervousness. So every person is different . About the weight issue, it seemed to make me gain weight but like every medication it depends on the person and how they react to that particular pill.

"If you are pregnant or think you\nmay be pregnant or are breastfeeding.\nYour doctor will\ndiscuss with you the possible\nrisks and benefits of taking\nCLAMOXYL tablets during\npregnancy or while you are\nbreast-feeding. CLAMOXYL\ntablets can pass to your baby\nfrom breast milk.  "

A doctor that I have been seeing for other medical conditions besides anything to do with pregnancy was telling me about a study that a doctor in Penn. was doing for women who had been going to all kinds of trouble trying to get pregnant. They had tried every drug known to man out there and went to the best specialist when he decide to use Metformin a common drug used for people with diabetes. \nThis doctor even suggested the same thing for her own daughter and she was pregnant within two weeks of starting the med. So just a thought!

I take a timed release B complex tablet when Im pooped out or under stress and it really does the trick for me!  If you need a little pick me up during the day, I like to keep a few Luna bars around, they help as well!

Actually, you have no need to worry.  Nature has its way of taking care of things.  Depending on what kind of pills you have taken, I wouldn't worry about it.  I once knew a woman who was pregnant for 12 weeks before she knew...and drank a couple alcoholic drinks every day.  Her baby is a very pretty and intelligent little angel!\n\nBy the way, diet soda will NOT harm the baby.  You should avoid non-nutritive foods while pregnant.  But, when the craving hits, it's better to do the diet than regular (save the calories for a yogurt or fruits).

There are definitely modifications that need to be made.  I don't know if you watch House on Fox or not, but that episode with the mom and baby was not very factual.  So don't worry about something like that happening.  \n\nSometimes the added stress on the body will make some of the symptoms a bit worse.  As far as effects on the baby, the mother should take prenatal vitamins-the prescription kind.  When the mother gets them filled, she should ask the pharmacist if they are Gluten free.  Sometimes some additives in medications are from wheat, barley, etc.. the bad stuff for people with Celiac Disease.  This would be the biggest thing I would tell the mother.  But this being said, she should definitely consult with her OB/GYN and/or Gastroenterologist to make sure there are no other reasons why she should not get pregnant.  \n\nThere is no reason why the baby would not be healthy.  Celiac Disease is thought to have a genetic component to it meaning the baby may also have Celiac disease.  The good thing, however, is being that the baby will be growing up with a Celiac Disease mom, he or she will probably be used to the Gluten-free diet.\n\nMy advise, as I said, would be to talk with the medical team to be sure there are no problems for the mother in having a baby, but Celiac Disease itself does not present specific hazards for the fetus or mother.\n\nHope this helps, and if this person you are asking about has a minute, I would actually like to talk to them about Celiac and their symptoms and what she did to get diagnosed!

On this issue, I would agree with the pharmacist. \n Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding\nReturn to top\n\nBactrim should not be taken during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, notify your doctor immediately. Bactrim does appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. It should not be taken while breastfeeding. \n\nThis information I copied and pasted off the Bactrim website.  I would call the doctor back and let him/her know that you can not take this medicine.  Also when they gave you the medicine at the drug store they should have given you a information page .  I would take and read that page as well.  If it says dont take it if your a breastfeeding then don't.\nThe doctor should give you another type of medication that will help .  But as it said all med's are transfered threw breastfeeding.  Maybe u can breastpump some milk for the baby before you start taking the medicine?

Yes, Ambien was prescribed to me and my doctor warned me of memory problems, including what you're experiencing. Oddly enough, I don't remember the experience...lol, and Im not just teasing, I really dont. I took it for a month but it didnt help me to sleep very well or it gave me nightmares or something. But he said something specific about short term memory loss. Like forgetting where you put your keys, what you said in a conversation, etc...where you wont forget things like your parents or childrens names, or who you are...etc. Good luck! Also, maybe try just plain Ambien, not the CR. What that does is release all through the night making it impossible to sleep off all the effects of the drug! J
