Effects of anti depression medicines
I am planning to get married to girl. Before final decision she informed me that she suffered depression in 2011 due to work pressure and was taking psychiatric treatment. Her doctor prescribed her medicines also. From 2011 to 2016, she took one of these medicines – Sertraline, Amitriptyline, Paroxetine, Agomelatine under the guidance of her doctor. She is currently taking one tablet of Desvenlafaxine 25 mg every night, which her doctor said is maintenance dose. If she is unable to sleep, then she takes Clonazepam. She looses concentration if there is too much pressure. Can you please inform what are the effects of these medicines on body? As we both are 30+, we would like to have baby soon. Will these current or previous medicines cause any problem for conceiving baby or can have effect on baby? What can be other effects which can create problem post married life?
