Does taking Cymbalta during pregnancy affect the child?

Patient's question:

I have been taking Prozac for three years. Later, at the doctor's suggestion, I stopped taking the medication. Three months after stopping Prozac, I became pregnant. However, the child is now two and a half months old, and my compulsive anxiety has returned severely. Can I take the medication again? Will the child be able to have a relationship with me if I take the medication? I am under so much pressure.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you have certain psychological pressure that has led to many symptoms. Medication may interfere with pregnancy, so it is recommended that you consult with your original attending physician for advice and follow their recommendations for treatment. Of course, you can also find a psychologist to undergo psychological counseling in this regard, which may help to relax your mind and body and alleviate these symptoms. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
