Hi Dr.Q,
As you know I am currently taking zoloft. I tried going off of it during my pregnancy and lasted about 6 weeks until I started having severe panic attacks again. I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and take 75mg of zoloft a day. I'm just wondering what you would recommend me doing during my 3rd trimester? I know some doctors say to either go off or take a very low dose but I am wondering what you think? I am so afraid of going off because of the panic attacks I get when I go off. I have been doing so great the past 3 weeks back on the med. What risks are there if I continue to take the zoloft during the 3rd trimester? Or should I lower my dose and try to ween myself off? And do you think 75mg is too much to take during pregnancy? I'm so sorry for all the questions! Thanks so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it!
