There's also the problem of exposing a developing brain to such harsh drugs. On the other hand, being severly depressed during pregnancy could throw your hormones and whatnot out of whack.
Are you currently pregnant, or are you still considering it? If so, it may be most prudent to put off having a child until you have your depression under control.
