Pregnant and anxiety of not falling asleep
Prior to becoming pregnant I had been dealing with panic and anxiety over an incident I had 5 years ago that I did not fall asleep after tossing and turning. Next thing I knew it was 11am and I headed to the hospital. I stated seeing a psychiatrist who prescribed me Zoloft on and off and Prozac as well as 0.5mg of Xanax. I only took it as needed I would say 3 times a week at most if I couldn't fall asleep. I developed panic attacks as a result and now I'm 16 weeks pregnant and this is coming back. I know Xanax is classified as a D drug but it is very hard to cope when it's 2am and you start to panic and have no control over it bc you're not asleep. Anyone pregnant and dealing with this? I have taken Xanax 0.5mg last night which is expired bc I just could not calm down. All those meditation and yoga suggestions just don't work.
