Re      :Antidepressants during Pregnancy

At the present time,  the only antidepressant "cleared" by the US FDA for
use during pregnancy is Prozac,  no others. Zoloft in the next year or so
may be cleared for this use, but we do not know this for sure.   I'm not
sure any ob/gyn is going to use anything other than Prozac at this time.

If the mom were placed on Prozac during pregnancy,  it is my opinion that
she should convert early postpartum to Zoloft,  for the babies health.

Regards
