Not always. You should talk to your doctor before stoppingsometimes continuing medication is safer for you and the baby than stopping abruptly. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If youre in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, were here to help you.

Some people will still struggle with depression while pregnant, so there are options to switch to a different SSRI while pregnant if depression still remains a concern. Talk to your providers for guidance.

Hope that helps
