Oh okay, at one point mine were like a few times a day 😔. But now it's like I have moments where I feel panicked but I don't have the attack it that makes any sense lol

They were full panic attacks I'd have them about twice a week

Yeah tried both of those. Zoloft gave me massive panic attacks and Prozac made me depressed when I wasn't even dealing with depression lol. Idk I'm very sensitive to medicine because I don't even take over the counter meds. I might take a Tylenol twice a year if that. So maybe my dosage was too high?? Idk. Were you have panic attacks too or just steady nagging anxiety? Mine is more of a panic disorder

I took both Zoloft and Prozac in the past. Zoloft made me more depressed so I switched to Prozac and I stopped taking it 6 months before I got pregnant. I wouldn't say it's as effective as those but it does help more than not taking anything. I can tell I'm in a better mood when I am taking it and can handle my triggers better.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of but I went to a maternal fetal specialist that told me to avoid any kind of meds (if I can) so that kind of scared me lol. I got it under control to where I don't t have panic attacks anymore just moments of worry and hyperventilating and then I remember my techniques from meditation and therapy. I've heard of headspace and I think I may have tried it not sure I'll check. I think I researched buspar last year and a lot of ppl said it works way better than the zolofts and prozacs. How does it make you feel? Do u feel like you are on something? Do you still have anxiety with it

It's not in the same category of regular ssri's because it only effects a subtype of serotonin receptor. It also does not have an sexual side effects unlike a normal ssri. Talk to your doctor if it's an option for you mine said it was fine and I got multiple opinions before I started it was healthier than the anxiety that I was putting on the baby.

Headspace! It's an app. I would definitely check it out. It really helps calming the body down & just a good practice to do!

My doc said that I had postpartum thyroiditis after my miscarriage last year and that it was probably the hormones and when I asked her was I at risk of having anxiety again once I got pregnant again she told me it wasn't likely smh thanks for the input ladies I really appreciate it I'm a first time mom. I tried medication shortly after my miscarriage and I almost had to become hospitalized because it made me so loopy. So I try to stay away from medication. Is buspar an ssri?

i do n i suffered anxiety for yrs now. n it gets worse cuz im feeling bad. some days i just breathe and maybe draw or read. or just even listen to music and it helps. or lay in the tub and listen to music. and sometimes its just so bad that i just cry. and i been having depression 2. it sucks. feels horrible

It got so bad for me my doctor put me on buspirone she assured me it's safe for the baby and its been a big help in just getting through my day without a meltdown

Did you already suffer with anxiety before pregnancy? I had a miscarriage last year and ever since I've been having panic attacks. Just when they started to go away I got pregnant again lol. I'm so excited but sometimes the anxiety is unbearable. Some days I don't have it at all smh it's so unpredictable. Any tips??

I have throughout my whole pregnancy:(
