thank you all for your input. it is Very Very helpful. unfortunately effexor and me don't mix...however i was on pristiq when i got pregnant. but it took like 10 weeks to even kick in. so i'm not sure on that front.
and wellbutrin was my wonder drug before my last pregnancy, then for some reason when i went to get back on it it didn't work, never kicked in for me.as for my doc? like he would even fricking suggest anything. his comments were "well i'll go along with what your OB thinks"...
some suggestions??? that would mean he would actually have to use his education and make a fricken decision...
the entire time i've been seeing him he's never made a med suggestion, except once when we were brainstorming as to what to try next. he did suggest lithium at one point, but 1)it was a little scary for me 2) havent had much luck with any moodstabilizer and 3)i had much better alternatives. and we did end up going with pristiq that i suggested...and it worked.
pristiq says its not much testing but shows it may be ok the first two trimestsers but not the third.i'm teary this morning but i haven't out right cried yet. looking good.
but i FINALLY got a decent response over on meds board.
someone suggested SAMe. so i think i'm going to call my OB and see what she thinks about that. i'm also going to do some quick reading.
and i KNOW i've seen that at my local drug store.
bleauberry also mentioned a couple other longshot naturals, but those are harder to find and not sure. so i'm going to check into SAMe first.if things continue to get worse i'll consider getting back on pristiq.
i just worry so much about this little life trying to grow inside me and what just a couple months of my weakness could permanantly do to him/her.
just not ready to take risks yet.

thank you all so much for the support. you have no idea how much i need it right now.
