How long to wait after stoppiing antidepressant?
This topic has probably been covered millions of times, so I apologize in advance. I'm thinking of trying for my 2nd baby, but am currently on antidepressants and not sure I'm quite ready to stop taking them. If any of you have been on antidepressants and stopped them, how long did you wait before trying to conceive? There isn't very much official literature (ie. based on sound scientific evidence). Thanks!

After my daughter was born nearly 7 years ago i was diagnosed with Bipolar and I am currently ttc. It all depends on the factors. What anti depressant you are on and how ill you would become if you stopped taking them. I am currently on 300mg venelafaxine which is very high dose but I am allowed to take it whilst ttc as it's classed as a 'safe drug' and also i would become too ill if I came off it. Ask your GP or psychiatrist about it and they should help you with what is best to do. Good luck.
