Hi there!
I'm new to this forum and I'm happy to have found it.
Some background: After spending a year with severe general anxiety (constant shaking, heart palpitations, inability to concentrate, unable to enjoy life and general miserableness), I started therapy and (reluctantly at first) Zoloft. I've now been on Zoloft for a year (100mg) and doing group therapy for about the same amount of time. The difference this year has made has been huge! I feel like myself, I'm happy, I can talk about my problems and feelings and feel like I can handle anything life throws at me again.
Recently, I found out I'm pregnant. It was unplanned but my partner and I are extremely happy and excited about it. Aside from some normal fears about how life changing a baby will be, my next big concern is my mental health. I have just started tapering off Zoloft (75mg) this week, so far, so good. However, I worry about what will happen in the long run and whether I'll be able to remain relatively-anxiety free in the long run. Before the pregnancy, I had plans to start tapering off Zoloft anyway, however, it seems more scary now that I know I'm pregnant.
Has anyone had experience with tapering while pregnant?
My apologies for the long post!
