celexa, preg., M/C, wtf

So I'm 18 yrs yng&i was diagnosed with depression&being over critical with myself&anxiety...I was put on celexa in February at 20mg. Then moved to 40mg in March&April..I found out I was pregnant April 21st. I was so happy&excited but scared if I continued to take the meds it would harm the bby with the stupid commercials that say anti depressants can cause birth defects or death...I was told by a guyfren that If I were to stop I should tell my psych. So he can gradually lower my dose...but I didn't I ended up moving in with my BD&stopped takin the meds...I was emotional but I figured it was just hormons&nothin to worry about. Well recently two wks ago we suffered a miscarriage and I had a d&c last wk.
Since the M/C I've gotten back to feeling useless&helpless..could this be the cause of the grieving process or should I still let my gyno know what's going on if it keeps up by July 11th (my check up)...? N e one have feedback?

Hello, sorry to hear about your Miscarriage..
Well you are bound to feel the way you do after such a trauma, so please don't criticise yourself over this one.
I think you should give it another week and see how you feel, the helpless feeling could be because you have suffered a miscarriage, it is understandable..
It could also be that you came off the meds very suddenly and you might need them again, or it could be a combination of everything..
You should have some quiet time recovering, and then if you still feel as low or worse in a weeks time then a trip to the doctor might be a good idea.
Take care
hugs
