In life's journey, there are times that we are down. When we cannot cope it up directly it will lead to a depressing moments. Family, friends or loveone find something that would cure it up until our lives back to normal. It is not easy as I can imagine but thru helps (therapy and anti-depressants) it will be fine. But oops! Speaking of anti-depressants, there are medicines (if not all) that are not good for pregnant or expecting mom as it has been said. Birth defects are known what anti-depressant medicines can do. That is why there are many folks who file and about to file birth defects lawsuit about these medications. The following Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) are the anti-depressant medications as been told that can cause or have linked to common birth defects are as follows: Depakote, Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, Topamax, and Zoloft. If you or anyone knows a mother who have taken any of these medications during pregnancy and her child have birth defect, it is advisable to take an appropriate action. Have your case reviewed or file a case. It is very sad to know about it I can tell but that is all what a person can do when an action of taking it has been done already. The company should have to pay of the reckless action being given.
