I just found out that Im pregnant this morning and I am taking Zoloft because I was afraid of having post-partum depression after I had my daughter (she is 8 mos.) and thyroid medicine because my thyroid is slow...Do I need to stop taking these? Does anyone have this issue?

You should definitely ask a dr. right away. I know there are some anti-depressants that are okay to take pregnant, but not sure about Zoloft. Also, I don't know how long Zoloft takes to get ouf of your system but, for example, Prozac takes about 2.5 months so if someone on Prozac found out they were pregnant and stopped taking it, their baby would still have the effects for the 1st trimester. Am I making sense? lol Anyway, I would absolutely ask an OB or, preferably, a psychiatrist.

Zoloft is okay to take while pregnant and breastfeeding-I'm almost 90% sure. As for the thyroid meds i have no idea. As someone said above, people some times dont know they are pregannt for quite a few weeks and are putting all kinds of things in thier bodies. Not an excuse to do it willingly, but you will probably be fine! Dont stress!!! Find the sites for those meds and look up what the inserts say-or call your pharmacist if you cant get a hold of your doctor right away.
