Has any moms taken a benzo to help with there anxiety while pregnant

Following. I stopped all my medication but my OBGYN is not taking me seriously with my anxiety or depression.

I stopped my anxiety meds when I found out I was pregnant I try to just to other things to relax my body or distract the mind and have some type of meditation music on. Hope that helps

But I do remember them saying if I were to take it there could be risks of stuff and I was too scared

I had to slowly stop taking my anxiety medication when I got pregnant. I was probably about 15-16 weeks when I was off them completely. I still get major anxiety and it sucks not taking my medication but the risks are definitely not worth it.

@jennilee21, yeah now that i got asthma n it’s bad it’s like i have an anxiety attack with my asthma attack it’s bad

@mommamia18, me too but I googled stuff n so many ppl took there anxiety meds n there kids grew up perfectly fine i don’t need it everyday

@babybump21, wow i stopped at like 6 weeks soon as i found out I’m now 20 weeks n my anxiety is worse than ever

@brittany88, I have been taking it for a while and my doctor was worried that I would go through major withdrawal which would of been worse for me and the baby. So far baby boy is doing extremely well though💙 ugh I know how you feel, I have major panic attacks all the time. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

@babybump21, yeah but they tell me to talk to a counselor but i tried that before they also try to put me on like Zoloft n stuff but my anxiety is so bad i can’t drive more than 10 mins by myself if i have a passenger i can it’s crazy

Same with the Zoloft. It’s so frustrating!!
