I am currently taking Effexor 75 mg. In the past I have taken Celexa and Paxil successfully. I get conflicting reports regarding antidepressants during pregnancy. What should I do stay on Effexor? Change to a safer med and if so what would that be? Or do I have to be completely off antidepressants?

you do not need to be completely off antidepressant, serotinin reuptake drugs could be used during pregnancy.
