Want To Get Pregnant And On Lexapro!!! (Top voted first)

Updated

I've been on lexapro now for the past 3 years or so. I was abused for many years as a child, now in my early 30ies i feel it definately helps in dealing with everyday,and my many demons.one day at a time. however i am at a stage now where my husband and i would like to start a family. What can i take instead as you cannot become pregnant on lexapro. what can i switch to. i'll need something as am not strong enough with out it.Can some one please advise.

Dear Ruby,
As a psychotherapist, a holistic healer and a mother of two toddlers, I would like to respond to your comments. I don't know whether you have sought therapy for the abuse you faced in your childhood, but that's a very important place to begin. The medication can help you to function, which is important. But it doesn't address the root of the problems and so the symptoms will continue. Now that you are thinking of having your family, I would want to strongly suggest that you look into alternative and complimentary practices to help with the symptoms and re think taking medication while pregnant. I am a strong advocate of keeping our babies drug free (of course that's if it is possible for you to get off the meds with the help of your primary doctor). Abuse, is difficult to deal with and it is also inter generational, which means it gets passed down from generation to generation even if you want to end it. Therapy is the best way we know to end the cycle of abuse.

I'm a 25 year old lady and I'm married. We are both HIV positive. I don't have a child, but we are planning to have a family. I've been using Nur-isterate for 6 years from (2007 -2013); after I have stopped using the injection. What can I use to wipe out the nur isterate in my body? I really want to get pregnant and I last saw ma periods in april 2013 and I'm getting pressure from my husband. Please help. #stressed
