Any answers wil be appriciated

First of all I am not pregnant yet!! Husband and I are seeing a fertility Dr. and i am on clomid and this coming wenesday I go back for a check up.
Anyway my question is that I have GAD and I been taking Celexa for the past 12 years of 40 ml but since November i tapered myself down to 10 ml once a day. I been trying to look for info on the net regarding the outcome of staying on this med during a pregnancy and the only info I came up with was that if taking 20ml or more there can be defects. Taking a low dose of 10 ml does not say much just that breast feeding is not recommended.
about a month ago I tried to stop completley for 2 weeks and I felt awful. I just want to know if any ladies on here have anymore info for me or any opinions to what you think I should do with this?
I really don't think that I can stop cold turkey off that medication when I do become pregnant.
Thanks
Monkeygirl :)

You should absolutely be consulting with your Dr. on both withdrawing and the potential affects on any unborn child.  In addition, I have found pharmascists to be a wonderful source of information on any drug and again how it can impact both fertility and pregnancy.  I don't think you should try to withdraw on your own, I am sure your Dr. can make it both safer and more comfortable for you.  Good luck!!

I think that they have other meds to treat this that are safer, I would just ask your fertility Dr.  best of luck to you!
