Are any of you mommies taking meds for Anxiety. If yes, what are you taking? I'm currently taking .25 mg Xanax twice a day but it helps very little. I really need help i have anxiety from the moment i wake up until i go to sleep and i dont know what to do anymore i feel like I'll never be the same again. Can hormones cause anxiety? Will it go away after pregnancy?
@caisner, wow.... you are really going thru a lot. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I am happy you have a great husband by your side. God bless you. Stay strong.
a lot of times lately I have felt soo over whelmed for this child wasn't planned and was actually a surprise to us for we have a almost 18 month old and then a 3 yr old special needs girl who can't talk and have high function autism and just found out she also has social and developmental impairment and global developmental delay then we have a almost 5 yr old who's having 2 types of seizure problems and have language impairment and language disorder due to high traces of lead poisoning few yrs ago
I do deep breathing as well and my husband helps me when he sees it's getting bad and I'm quite and have tears running down my face and he then holds me very close and says I'm never alone and will never be alone and we will get though this together no matter what and that I'm doing great and that it's OK to feel scared tired out over whelmed etc
I listen to music and dance and do things I injoy doing and not focus to much on it and let nature take its course because nature will do what it wants regardless whether we want it to or not.
@caisner, yes i know but it gets to a point where i don't want to live anymore it's been very hard on me and all this is new to me. what do you do to deal with it?
There's a lot if risk taking any anxiety and depression medications my doctor refuses to put me on any due to the risks that it can possibly cause to the unborn child I have extremely bad ptsd like crazy
@hermommy, yeah there are lots of risks unfortunately. It's really tough.
I just breath, and honestly I kinda don't when I get to anxious I cry and freak out :/ but I'd rather do that then deal with the risks that come along with zoloft
I won't take it now pregnant I had 25 mg, I had it horribly along with depression before I was pregnant due to losing my grandparents. @claudia101
@hermommy, can i ask how much and did it help you? Did you have anxiety before?
Thank you I will also keep you in my prayers too and stay strong u can do this god bless you
