I suffered from terrible hypoglycemia all during my pregnancy (Please note, I was completely off the meds), and my daughter was the most “high need” infant of my five children. She wanted to nurse every twenty minutes, was irritable, never slept, had major meltdowns until she was six and was overall the most difficult of all of my children to mother.

I wonder if anyone in the medication world is doing studies on the long term effects on children AFTER a mother has come off the meds?

1) What was your starting dose of Prozac?
2) How quickly were you titrated?
3) What was your maintenance dose?
4) How long were you on this dose?
5) Were you on on concomitant serotoniergic drugs.

I only ask these questions because while I acknowledge that other AE’s are common with SSRI’s, fulminant serotonin syndrome is not common and may be related to one of the above factors.

Sounds like SSRIs have the potential to bring on a good case of what will no doubt be labeled PPD and the drug peddling can continue perpetually.

And let’s not forget the claims of the gang of disease mongers behind the Mothers Act, that we also have “Sad Daddies” with PPD and other pregnancy related mood disorders that need SSRIs.

I also find it amazing that all these studies are just happening to come out now, after the SSRIs are off patent and all the major money has been made.
