Can Duloxetine And Quetiapine Be Taken During Pregnancy?
Hey, I am 12 weeks pregnant on 5mg of folic acid, i live in the country so am not seeing obstetrician until 20 weeks now so was wondering if I should continue to take the 5mg of folic acid until then or is it safe to come off it? I am on medications duloxetine 120mg and quetiapine 250mg for bipolar. GP states to keep taking it for the first two trimesters. I cant see anywhere online to support this. Should i continue taking it or stop? Will it do harm to continue it ? thanks !

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Doloxetine is anti-depression drug.Though it is harmful during pregnancy,
it can be continued with treating doctor's advise. Quetiapen is said to be not increasing the risk when taken during pregnancy. So you need to consult your treating doctor and get specific advise for the drugs depending on your health condition.
Thanks.
