A friend has been on anti-depression medication for the last two years, but now wants to try for a baby. Is it advisable for her to stay on the meds while trying to conceive?

I have a friend who took anti-depression and after doctor assessed her and agreed to let her off medicine. After trying for 1 year she managed to conceive with a healthy baby. Her family is very supportive and she is quite a happy person after having her baby. You have to check with your doctor on your situation if still need to rely on medicine. All assessments needed to be done properly. It is definitely not safe to take any medication during pregnancy unless the benefits of it outweigh everything. Thus, it is best to seek professional advises. Reported Dangers to the Baby Among the most publicized risks of taking an antidepressant during pregnancy is persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). It's a life-threatening condition in which a baby has high blood pressure in the lungs, causing severe breathing problems. http://www.m.webmd.com/baby/news/20150612/antidepressants-while-pregnant
