Anyone on anxiety meds?

Question

Just wondering if any other mamas are on anxiety meds. I’m currently on 50mg Zoloft but I plan to taper off since my BFP today. They told me it would be safe during pregnancy but I don’t want to take any chances. Anyone in or has been in a similar situation?

Answer

I'm on the exact same thing but will be staying on it. I took it with my second pregnancy and obgyn and I have always decided staying on is healthier for baby and me instead of going off of it and always being anxious and having panic attacks.

Answer

I’m not currently on anxiety meds, however I’m an RN. There was a study a couple yrs back about how continueing to taking you anxiety/depression medication does more good then harm. I would recommend staying on them.

Answer

I am on 50mg Zoloft for OCD that is debilitating. I planned on upping my dose until I found out I was pregnant. I spoke to two of my doctors today and we decided it is healthier for me (and the baby) to stay on Zoloft at my current dose for the pregnancy. My doctor is rather conservative when it comes to taking medication when pregnant, so if she tells me that I am able to stay on it then I plan too.

Answer

I take 100mg of Zoloft everyday  and my OB said it’s okay for me to stay on it. And for my situation it’s probably better for me to stay on it rather than come off of it while I’m pregnant. I’m 6w 1d today!

Answer

Currently on 40mg of Celexa. Dr said I can stay on it-i tapered the dose down before TTC and they said I’m on a safe low dose. I do miss my clonopin as I took .25mg to sleep in evenings and that one I’ve stopped entirely. No more sleep for me :/

Answer

I normally take Cymbalta for aniexty, after we had a loss a few months ago I slowly warned myself off them. I will take them after I give birth though as I’ve had two lots of PND. I am doing really well without them and am avoiding in laws due to them sending my antiestablishment through the roof.

Answer

I'm on buspirone and cymbalta. I plan to take them both on a smaller dose through the 2nd trimester (Both are approved during pregnancy). Then I will taper off completely until after the birth. My first pregnancy, I decided to go unmedicated and it was almost unbearable. 
For me, it was not worth the extra    .02% peace of mind that I would get from not taking anything. 
If you feel confident and have the support systems in place, then I would say that its always BEST to not take anything at all :)

Answer

I took 40mg of Zoloft my entire pregnancy with my first. She is completely healthy, and I plan to stay on it for this pregnancy too.
