Audrea seemed to have pretty good info. It's a no-brainer that most drugs are not approved for preg women and it's always ideal to be drug free. Unfortuantely, that's not always realistic, and many drs feel that in some cases, the need outweighs the unsubstantiated risks. I talked to my dr about ambien (the sleeping drug). I'm not on it now and haven't been while preg, but I had severe insomnia (barely slept for 5 weeks) last yr due to anxiety and took it then. I asked him if I could take it I suddenly need it and he said yes, it's fine, especially since i've had it before and know what how I react to it. With all of these prescribed drugs, it seems that occas use is key.
