The sample included 41\u202f475 live-born singleton pregnancies in Denmark (1997-2016) and 16\u202f459 in Norway (2009-2018) for women who filled at least 1 antidepressant prescription within 6 months before pregnancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Exposures<\/jats:title>Antidepressant prescription fills were obtained from the prescription registers. Antidepressant treatment during pregnancy was modeled using the k-means longitudinal method.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>Initiation of psycholeptics, psychiatric emergencies, or records of self-harm within 1 year post partum. Between April 1 and October 30, 2022, hazard ratios (HRs) for each psychiatric outcome were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to control for confounding. Country-specific HRs were pooled using random-effects meta-analytic models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Among 57\u202f934 pregnancies (mean [SD] maternal age, 30.7 [5.3] years in Denmark and 29.9 [5.5] years in Norway), 4 antidepressant fill trajectories were identified: early discontinuers (31.3% and 30.4% of the included pregnancies in Denmark and Norway, respectively), late discontinuers (previously stable users) (21.5% and 27.8%), late discontinuers (short-term users) (15.9% and 18.4%), and continuers (31.3% and 23.4%). Early discontinuers and late discontinuers (short-term users) had a lower probability of initiating psycholeptics and having postpartum psychiatric emergencies vs continuers. A moderately increased probability of initiation of psycholeptics was found among late discontinuers (previously stable users) vs continuers (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.03-1.24). This increase in late discontinuers (previously stable users) was more pronounced among women with previous affective disorders (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.12-1.46). No association between antidepressant fill trajectories and postpartum self-harm risk was found.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>Based on pooled data from Denmark and Norway, a moderately elevated probability of initiation of psycholeptics in late discontinuers (previously stable users) vs continuers was found. These findings suggest that women with severe mental illness who are currently on stable treatment may benefit from continuing antidepressant treatment and personalized treatment counseling during pregnancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapsychiatry.2023.0041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]],"date-time":"2023-03-08T16:05:20Z","timestamp":1678291520000},"page":"441","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Timing of Antidepressant Discontinuation During Pregnancy and Postpartum Psychiatric Outcomes in Denmark and Norway"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Nhung T.
