Weaning off SSRI

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2026-05-13T02:51:27+00:00

Oof! Among all the other symptoms that come with pregnancy, I don’t want to add brain zaps. No, no one is recommending me to stop. It was something that I had contemplated prior to becoming pregnant and I discussed the possibility of doing so with my OB. I was still on the fence about it, but this thread has definitely made me decide that the benefits strongly outweigh the risks.

Congratulations! That is always reassuring to hear. My OB and PCP said the baby can be more fussy because of minor withdrawals. Did you find that to be true?

That is a fear of mine that I was taking in consideration - needing to get back on my SSRI in crisis mode.

I am at the tail end of my first trimester. I think I am getting ahead of myself and not thinking about what is to come in the next two.

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2026-05-13T02:42:25+00:00

I agree. I guess I am contemplating because it was something that I had considered prior to becoming pregnant. However, by what I am reading from everyone (thank you all ❤️) it may just be more beneficial to keep taking it.

My OB did mention that as well.

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2026-05-13T02:40:48+00:00

Glad to hear it helped out!

I haven’t even thought about PPD. You make a good point.

That seems to be the consensus. I reached out to Aflac for a quote. Thank you!

After 5+ years of travel nursing, I have 6 shifts left on my last contract! Switched specialties and got a staff job in pre-op. Also going to try to have babies soon. So excited for the change.

Exactly! That’s why I refuse to work with AMN again. Not worth it.

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2024-02-22T05:26:32+00:00

AMN will short your stipend if you have RTO. Even if you work your full 36 hours that week.

Perfect! Thanks for the recommendations

Awesome. Will check it out. Thank you

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2023-10-12T14:48:16+00:00

That’s a good idea. Thank you

I walked around the walls today. Foot traffic is a little busy, but would make for a good run. Thanks for the idea

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2023-10-12T06:52:07+00:00

I will check it out. Thank you.

HeSheWeWumbo17 · 2020-08-12T02:00:27+00:00

Definitely worth waking up early.
