Are there any women out there whom have become pregnant while on pristiq and continued use during the pregnancy? I just found out I was pregnant and the dr wants me to continue taking it. I am scared of birth defects and would like to hear others stories. Please Ty Jo

Hello, Jo! How are you? Congrats on the baby!!

The FDA does list this medication as being in category C, which means risk has not been ruled out, but conversely, that means that it also hasn't been known to definitively cause any problems in people.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes.

Can anyone that's taken it while pregnant chime in?
