We have less data on Effexor. These are always complicated decisions. While there is concern about medications used during pregnancy, we cannot ignore the potential risks of untreated illness in the mother.

I also had an Endometrial Ablation done approx 2-3yrs ago, therefore don't have a monthly period. I may want to become pregnant in the near future. Is there anything I should be cautious about? I certainly don't want to risk my health or the health of a baby. I am currently taking 150mg Effexor XL daily along with Lamotrigine 100mg daily for Dysthymia/Borderline Personality Disorder.

I also took 10mg of Lexapro. My child is healthy in every way. I couldn't stop taking meds for our safety. I'm so thankful I had a good outcome. I decreased from 200 mg of Lamictal to 100 mg.
