Lets talk Anxiety and Depression medications while pregnant
Some of you may know my story already. So I will spare the details.
But basically I have a long history of depression and anxiety. It got really bad in my first trimester and my OB prescribed me to zoloft and buspar which apparently are a pretty common combo during pregnancy because they are both considered fairly safe. Before I became pregnant I was prescribed to Xanax and before that Klonopin. Both worked fairly well after my body adjusted (I don't see how people can do so many of those things because all the did was make me sleep?) lol anyways.
I am on the highest dosage of both my current meds and they have both now stopped working. It could be just the buspar but it hasn't been good. The past week I've barely gotten out of bed. I have an appointment tomorrow about switching them but I am really nervous :(
So I am here to ask...
What anxiety or depression medicine have you or are you taking during pregnancy? Is it working well? Was your baby born with any side effects from it? I would like to start back on my klopin of Xanax but I am really afraid of it impacting my son negatively.
But I also can't stay depressed and having constant panic attacks right now. I am also afraid to switch depression meds because I have heard many horror storied of people who weren't pregnant?
I just need advise or some peace of mind. This is all so tough right now.
