Women On Antidepressants Who Stop Medication During Pregnancy Risk Experiencing Relapse, Study Says
Women on antidepressants who stop taking their medication when they become pregnant risk relapsing into depression, according to a study published in the Feb. 1 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Long Island Newsday reports (Talan, Newsday, 1/31). The study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, negates the commonly held belief that hormones produced during pregnancy protect women from depression (Johnson, AP/Long Island Newsday 1/31). Lee Cohen, director of Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Women's Mental Health, and colleagues monitored 201 pregnant women between 1999 and 2003 with a history of depression (Reuters, 1/31). The women were on medications such as Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor and Paxil. Researchers found that 68% of the women who stopped taking antidepressants relapsed into depression during pregnancy. In addition, 26% of the women who continued taking their medication during pregnancy also became depressed (AP/Long Island Newsday, 1/31). When women take antidepressants during pregnancy, some infants can develop withdrawal syndromes, which include irritability and fluctuations in temperature. However, the most commonly-prescribed antidepressants have not been linked to birth defects, according to Newsday (Newsday, 1/31). FDA has cautioned that Paxil might be connected to fetal defects when taken during the first three months of pregnancy (AP/Long Island Newsday, 1/31). Jennifer Wu, an obstetrician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, suggests that instead of stopping their medication, pregnant women who take antidepressents should reduce the dosage (Reuters, 1/31).
NPR's "All Things Considered" on Tuesday reported on the study. The segment includes comments from Cohen; Nada Stotland, professor of psychiatry and obstetrics at Rush Medical College; and study participants (Aslanian, "All Things Considered," NPR, 1/31). The complete segment is available online in RealPlayer.
