Reporter Needs Your Input ASAP

A national magazine reporter would like to speak with women who continued taking antidepressants during pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding, as well as women who stopped taking antidepressants (or lowered their dose) during pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding. The most important thing for her is to get a variety of voices, opinions and experiences from women across the country (and globe).

She has had a much bigger response than anticipated and is a bit overwhelmed by the number of women contacting her. She knows she won't be able to interview everybody so if possible, please send her an email with answers to the questions below:
  • What medication are (were) you on and at what dose?
  • What was the reason, if any, that led you to take (or discontinue) meds?
  • What specifically did you learn (either through your doctors or your own research) about potential implications of antidepressants during pregnancy? What was your biggest concern?
  • If applicable, did you take or discontinue meds while nursing?
  • What is your age and the age of your child(ren)?
  • What is your name (first name only)?
  • Where do you live (city and state preferred, but city or region fine too)
  • Is there anything you want to tell me that isn't addressed in the above questions? Anything particularly interesting or unique about your experience?
