Is anyone prescribed a low dose of Zoloft in their pregnancy? My anxiety is so annoying I cannot…

I am on it I have been taking it since 20 weeks for anxiety! I tried a ton of things before going on it.

I'm thinking of starting it around then too.. I wanna wait until the anatomy scan first. Does it help you a lot? @addysmomma47

I'm just so afraid of something being wrong :(

@kayb, yes I went from constant anxiety and an anxiety attack almost everyday to nothing. I do have anxiety every once in a while but that's normal. I was having trouble eating because my stomach was in a constant knot and that definitely helped a lot. I also noticed I had more energy and my overall mood was better. I have been on and off antidepressants since I was 16 and zoloft is the best one I have tried! I was hesitant on taking it obviously because of the baby but my doctor said the only bad thing that will happen is she will go through a withdrawal for the first 24 hours. She will just be cranky but I'm a first time mom I won't really notice the difference anyways

They want to put me on 50mg. What are you on? Sorry for all the questions!! I'm just trying to get as much info as I can. And I'm glad you're feeling better.. It gives me hope! @addysmomma47

ask whatever you want! yes I'm on 50 mg! if you don't want to take that much you can break them in half. when I was taking it before I cut them in half at first. you can see if it helps if not take the whole pill! I am happy I started taking it because it helped me so much. I know people are against taking things but my doctor said a lot of mom's take it while pregnant and benefit from it

Alright. I think I'm going to consider it.. I was just at the doctor and they took my blood pressure and she's like "are you nervous?" I'm just so tired of my heart like racing or feeling just all around nervous. @addysmomma47

that's how I was. it got to the point where people were saying it's going to effect the baby. if you don't want to take it yet I would try taking magnesium. that has always helped me and I did try that first. my doctor said I can take 400 mg twice a day. it does help me calm down.

That's what I heard. Maybe I'll call and ask what they say about that. Because I cannot go on like this.. I only get that anxiety though when I'm at the doctor because I'm afraid something is gonna be wrong... But as soon as she checked the heartbeat of the baby I felt so much better. @addysmomma47

Other than at the doctor it comes and goes. I'm still paranoid for no reason about everything

maybe look into getting a fetal doppler so you can check the heart beat at home? I know people order them from amazon. you are almost out of the first trimester and into the safe zone!

Yeah I think I'm gonna do that:) thank you for all your help! @addysmomma47

anytime!

I have it and I use it I have a hard time with vomiting when pregnant I don't use it everyday but the days I really feel sick I do use it and it def helps I also used it with my daughter and she had no side effects from it
