I had weaned myself, under doctor supervision, off of Effexor because my husband and I are planning a family. I supplemented with 5HTP and B-complex vitamins as an alternative, thinking that would be safe for pregnancy. After visiting a naturopath recently, I found out that's not true at all. At this point, she has instructed me to keep track of my triggers and what makes me feel better, and I've also been more diligent about making sure to take my supplements every day at the same time. Until I see her next, can anyone tell me if they know of natural alternatives that are also safe to take while pregnant and breast feeding?

thx
