Lexapro / Tofranil & TTC ???

Hi all. I've been lurking the boards for a few weeks. Laughing with you, crying with you - feeling like i'm getting to know you all even though this is my 1st time posting. 
So, hey again ..

Monday will be 2 weeks that I had my Mirena removed. Were slowly and patiently TTC our 2nd child. I suffer from Migraines but lately have had some hellish tension headaches and anxiety so my PCP put me on Lexapro for the anxiety and Tofranil for the tension headaches but they both warn not to take early and late in pregnancy.

Of course i'll discuss with my OB tomorrow but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with either.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome Cathie.....

I have no advice but wanted to welcome you and say happy TTC! I hope you get some good answers from your doc soon.....

This board is amazing and hope to see you posting often :)

Take care,

Ann

I have been on both meds. I know I was told (@age 16 back in the 80's) to make sure I didn't get pregnant while I was on the Tofranil. I really don't remember being told anything with the Lexapro. I just know it killed my sex drive and went off it cause the hubby hated the lack of desire.

Ughh! Well, that won't help us TTC. (the lack of desire) 

Thanks

Welcome aboard! My OB reccomended that I take Wellbutrin instead of Lexapro. Not sure about the Tofranil though.

Happy TTC!

UPDATE: talked to my OB today and he said "NO" Tofranil ..
