Daxid is far superior as it come from reputed pfizer, but there are generic advocates who say they are the same. It is like 24k gold and 18k gold. Both are gold only. You make a choice.

Dear lybrate-user,
what is the severity of ocd? If you can manage without daxid for first 11-12 weeks, it will be better. If you think that your ocd will affect your child, it is better to continue along with folic acid 5 mg daily. Please do an u/s scan for abnormality at 11th week. All the best.

My father is 58 years old suffering from depression, for past 6-7 years & he is depressed due to my sister marriage. After treatment and medicines he become fit and fine. Later 1-2 year ago he becomes more active, aggressive and energetic than before, this behaviour remains for 1+ years. From last 5-6 months he again slowly gets into depression and becomes less active, does not talk much, keep tensed. Doctor prescribed half tablet of gatomir 15 (mirtazapine) at night and 1 tablet of zotral 50 (sertraline) at morning for 15 days. However 7+ days are past but he is not eating properly and we does not see much improvement. Can you please explain is it normal while taking anti depression medicines, and is this medicine is ok? Can we wait for some more time for improvement or we contact our doctor to change medicines?

Sertraline is fda classification c drug ,it should be given during pregnancy if it's clearly indicated and it's benefits outweigh it's risk according to studies there is very little chance that it will cause any defects in the fetus. You should not stop sertraline abruptly as it will cause withdrawal symptoms, consult your doctor and follow his advice.
