If you are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, you should talk to your doctor about all medications you are taking. Prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and even herbal supplements can all affect your unborn child. Sometimes, certain medications can cause serious, life-threatening side effects for your child. A variety of birth defects have been linked to medications, especially SSRI antidepressants.
SSRI Antidepressant Drugs Include:
- Paxil, Seroxat (paroxetine)
- Zoloft, Lustral (sertraline)
- Celexa (citalopram)
- Lexapro, Cipralex (escitalopram)
- Symbyax (fluxetine and olanzapine)
- Wellbutrin, Zyban (bupropion)
- Effexor (vanlafaxine)
Many women who have taken these medications during pregnancy, and have had a child with a birth defect, are now seeking legal action against the drug companies.
