In reply to pregnant/breastfeeding on abilify and prozac, posted by black lacquer on September 9, 2004, at 18:30:54
> I am currently taking abilify and prozac and am concidering becoming pregnant. My dr. does not advise going off my meds. while being pregnant but I am skeptical of this advise. I visited a naturopathic dr. who suggests I taper off of my meds and try something called neuroreplete. (It is a supplement made of amino acids...see neuroreplete.com) Does anyone have any experience or advise relating to either pregnancy/breastfeeding on meds, or anything about "neuroreplete?"
Each case should be decided on its own merits. I think that the information part is the more important piece of informed consent. You might get some background from these two sources:

I really doubt that an amino acid supplement will be sufficient treatment to protect the fetus from the adverse effects of your own depression. If you want to talk about supplements more fully, please head over to the Alternative board.
