Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Daxid or sertraline is pregnancy category C drug which means that animal studies with this drug has shown adverse effects on the fetus, however no controlled studies are done in humans.
However, this drug can be used if the potential benefit of the drug outweigh the risk.
You should avoid taking it regularly, and consult a psychiatrist for proper examination and safer drug, if possible.
