I was taking anaphralin before pregnancy. I stopped taking it when I got pregnant. Now I am in the 6th month and my condition has worsened. The doctor prescribed me half a tablet until the end of my pregnancy. Could this dose harm my baby and how can it show up? I am afraid that I may give birth to a sick child …

Your well-being is worse and it also affects the baby. If the doctor recommends taking the drug (Anafranil - by the way, in the minimum dose), he clearly thinks that the mother's depression may harm the child more than the drug she is taking. Anyway, it is already the 6th month of pregnancy, all the baby's organs are already properly developed, and there are no more developmental defects. Before delivery, you should discuss with a psychiatrist and obstetrician how to continue treatment and possible weaning. Regards!
