Antidepressants While Pregnant With Twins

I'm 24 weeks pregnant with twin boys. I am currently Not on antidepressants. I was prior to finding out I was pregnant, I was being prescribed Prozac 40mgs. When I found out I was prego, I started weening myself off over the next two weeks. No problems. No withdrawal. No depression. This was in January of this year. Now we are in May, and I am completely OUT of my mind. Bat s*** crazy. & emotional as ever. Sure, I'm sure the hormonal thing has got my emotions out of whack, but its worse than just that I think. Anyway..... Has ANYONE on here who is a woman, been prego, on antidepressants & had complications, or none? Would you recommend it, or not? Anyone else know of anyone pregnant on meds? Please give me any feedback .... Good. Bad. Or indifferent. I'm going nuts.

I was on prozac throughout 2 of my 3 pregnancies. My doc just told me to cut my dose in half (I was on 30 or 40 mgs, can't remeber). MY kids are now 11 and 12 and are fine.
