I have been on Xanax for 9 years. I have tried every other med under the sun, this is the only thing that can help control my panic attacks and anxiety. It’s still not totally under control, but without it I would have zero quality of life. I see a psychiatrist every week. I have discussed this with him and he said that he has had patients on much higher doses that remained on it their entire pregnancy with no complications. I talked to my OB and she said def don’t stop until I actually am pregnant, but we will discuss it then. She said she has to weigh Risk vs. benefits. It maybe worse stress wise for me and the baby if I am off it. I feel like I am a slave to this medication but I don’t know how to live a semi normal life without feeling like I’m going to die everyday. In the 9 years I’ve been on it, I have only had to up my dose 1 time. Any advice? Anyone in the same boat? Please no negative comments. If you had the childhood I did, you would wonder how I can even semi function with meds!
