[PanicZone] Re: Pregnancy and Anxiety
I just went through this. If you want to email me personally it is saragly25@aol.com. Last summer I wanted to get pregnant so I thought I could just switch over to Prozac not realizing how bad the anxiety would come back. Needless to say it took me 9 months to do it and I am now 6 weeks pregnant. I hate to say it but Xanax got me through it. I had to up that while I was going through the transition. I am off of it now of course but it was a long road.

My child , who, the same as my 'non xanax' child is calm, happy, very intelligent, normal (for want of a better word...lol)he was such a content baby, and I was so much calmer with him....I know it's not right for everyone but it worked for me.

have a panic attack is that it will pass
whether it passes quickly or slowly
