    Thank you so much for getting back to me and showing some interest. I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow. Will let you all know what advise she gives.

    Hi SimK,

    I'm hoping it doesn't happen to you but when i was TTC and asked both my GP and OBS about medication I was. Both were really non-commital, or did not know, if it was safe or not.

    I heard about the Mothersafe program through the Royal Hospital in Sydney. I gave them a ring and they helped more than my GP and OBS combined. Google mothersafe for more information if you don't have any luck with your GP.

    I am also in the same boat as you sweetie. I am taking efexor as well and ttc. I spoke to A Dr Called Rodney Whyte he is a drug information specialist at Monash drug information hotline. I do have his number around somewhere;if you are still seeking help. He is so easy to talk to and an absolute wealth of information. in answer to your question he told me i was fine to stay on th efexor whilst ttc,and pregnancy, and breastfeeding. My concern being a relapse of pnd or worse. HTH;and you find the data you need

    Your a life saver. I hope everything goes ok for you too. I guess we can only do what we have to do. The whole process just scares me thats all. Im seriously thinking of weaning myself off first. Would hate to take the risk of being the cause for any problems.
