GAD and pregnancy. How are you coping?

Question

I've had GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) for a couple of years now.  Am off meds during the pregnancy and am 8wks. Wanting to know if there's anyone else dealing with the same,  how are you coping with panic attacks etc.  I was coping OK before the pregnancy and was able to take meds to calm/stop panic attacks when they get to bad and now I can't cuz of the baby.

Answer

I have the same condition and have attacks every time I get sick. I haven't been to my doctor yet so I'm hoping I can get something for my anxiety. Good luck to you.

Answer

I am off my meds too, but I have a prescription for Lexapro. I haven't filled it yet, but I think I will have to. I wish I could cope withoit medication, but it seems unlikely at this point. The dr. told me at my 12 weeks appointment that Lexapro was safe and I could begin taking it again during the second tri.

Answer

I'm on lexapro. It's safe during pregnancy.

Answer

If mine got to bad I would take a bynadryl. At 10 weeks I was put on Zoloft. It's safe.
