If I stop my medication what will happen to me?
Unfortunately, this is an unknown. There is very little information on the course of mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy. The majority of these studies have shown that many women will have symptoms during pregnancy. A general rule is that whatever happened the last time you stopped your medication, will probably happen again over the course of pregnancy and the postpartum period. This question is the focus of considerable research and we are confident that more information will be available soon.
