hi, i've been on sertraline for over a year, everything has settled for me and it's doing a great job, the only gripe i have is at night time when i've done all my house chores and settled down to chill out infront of the telly for a bit, i get this really annoying like tingling in my legs, like electric shocks but not painful just really irritating like i can't relax although i feel relaxed. feels like i need to stretch my legs out!! i've ended up having to lie flat on the sofa with my legs elevated up on pillows or lie on the floor with my legs up against the wall. it seems to have got worse since i found out i'm 8 weeks pregnant. anyone else had the same experience with sertraline ???
I think you need to speak with your doctor as being pregnant and taking Sertralin might bring some issues for a baby
hi there lina,
i've already seen both my doctor and my midwife and they have both confirmed that sertraline is safe whilst i'm pregnant and they are both happy for me to be on my medication throughout :-) it can only be unsafe for your baby if you start taking it after you are pregnant and it isn't already settled into your system etc.
It is good news dear. I am surprised why my doc told me you can not be pregnant unless you leave the medecine 
where are you? I am in Australia
hi again,
i am in england, manchester..........i guess it depends how bad your depression is, not sure about that though, i am on 150mg for depression and been taking the meds for well over a year now so they had no concerns at all and said if you're happy, you're baby is happy so i'm relieved, i know what i'm like without it and i would have had a terrible pregnancy so glad i came out with a good result :-)
Congratulations, as a mother of a 7yo wonderful little girl, I can tell you your world is about to become a trillion times more funner!!! ...(and there's no better distraction from focusing on ourselves than the overwhelming love we have for our babies) xxx
thanks kikidee, yes we are both very excited and cannot wait xxxx
