hi,i took stemzine before i knew that i'm pregnant,does it effect the baby?

Hi hala,

Consult your doctor right away as to whether he wants you to discontinue the stemzine while you're pregnant.  I have never heard of a drug called stemzine to treat SZ, can you tell me if you mean Stelazine?  Is the stemzine used to treat the SZ?  Your doctor will let you know if he feels you need to discontinue the SZ meds while you're pregnant.

My first psychiatrist, 20 years ago, told me I could take the Stelazine and have a healthy baby, yet I didn't want to risk giving birth to a child who could develop SZ.

I tend to think there will be no repercussions however I can't say this for sure so I will ask you to contact your psychiatrist immediately [tomorrow morning, Monday] to put your mind at ease.

Rest assured though, plenty of women diagnosed with SZ go on to have happy, healthy kids.

Regards,

Christina
