Amitriptyline and duloxetine during pregnancy

[Oceania23]

Hello everyone

I suffer from fibromyalgia and depression and I am currently taking 20mg duloxetine and 10mg amitriptyline which is helping me to manage my condition. I am thinking of trying for another child, already have two but not sure if I could go through pregnancy without the medication. My last pregnancies where very hard and that was before I was on any medication. Has anyone been pregnant while on this two types of medications and managed? Was the baby ok? Thank you for sharing in advance.

but it is best to speak to your GP about what options will be best for you.

I think you really need to discuss this with a dr or midwife, as well as doing your own research. Your future health, and your future baby’s wellbeing, are too valuable to be left to chance.

Check the Patient Information Leaflets that come with your meds for any information on pregnancy. You can also contact the manufacturers fir information.

Good luck, I hope everything works out for you.

Hi there I'm 32 got 3 beautiful girls would of loved to try for a 4th fortunately I got fibro after because I don't think I would cope with pregnancy fibro and depression and anxiety ,however if you really want to try and your partner is supportive then you will be able to just except more pain but let's be honest were used to pain every day ,the mothered heAlth will always out weigh the baby ,there are risks with meds but millions of people take them while pregnant see your gp and go through all the risks maybe change meds if you can't take the ones your on xxx
