Hello everyone. I am a first time mama to be, I am 15 weeks. I suffered from a miscarriage in January, and we were blessed to get pregnant again. As soon as I got my positive the second time my Dr started me on oral progesterone, and I am currently still taking it. When I first found out I was pregnant my anxiety flared up severely, but I had thought maybe it was a side effect from the progesterone sudden increase in my body, then it got significantly better after seeing my counselor and starting to do meditation daily. I have PTSD, and general anxiety. I used to take Xanax as needed for acute anxiety and that was perfectly fine for me. However, now that I am pregnant Xanax is not safe to take, so my doctor prescribed me 25 mg hydroxyzine to take instead as needed. I haven’t taken it yet because on the bottle from the pharmacy it says not recommended to use if you’re breast-feeding, and if you’re pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant to discuss it with your doctor before using. I did a little research and it is class C in the United States. I am just wondering what you other ladies who suffer from anxiety have used while being pregnant that has been successful? I have really been struggling again as of the last week or two, heat is a major trigger for me since it has been in the high 90s and humid, well that says enough right there.I am torn, do I take the hydroxyzine because my doctor prescribed it, so she thinks it is safe? Or is there something better, safer to use while pregnant? Sorry for such the long post!
