Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Alike anybody, pregnant women can get psychosis. In fact the risk is slightly more than the general population risk. The risk is highest among those who had history of psychosis during early pregnancy/before pregnancy.
Similarly those with family history of psychosis have highest risk to develop psychosis during pregnancy.
I hope this answers you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.

Considering past history of depression and anxiety over the last eight years most likely you are suffering with depression and anxiety again.
However presence of anxiety and depression during pregnancy is not good for anybody including unborn child. It is important to seek medical assistance without delay.

Brief Answer:
25 mg is too low to be effective
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
The current dose of 25 mg is too low to be effective for an adult of 31 year. The effective dose is generally falls between 50-200 mg per day.
It is possible that you had initial placebo effect which weaned off in few weeks rather than the drug becoming ineffective after few weeks.
I hope this answers you further.

Increased anxiety during first week of Zoloft treatment is normal and generally last for few days among most individuals.
Alike other individuals antidepressants work excellently during pregnancy and I do not think you will need to bother about depression once it is treated appropriately.
