This is my first post on here. Im currently 21 and 14 wks pregnant. The thing is i suffer from extreme anxiety (mainly social) i got put on xanax when i was 15/16 and its a miricale pill i cant imagine bein without it. My scrips 4 2mg pills aday but i got myself down to one a day pre pregnancy. My baby doc gave me the go head to stay on them! I was shocked, i dont want any harm done to my baby what so ever but the thought of gettin off them freaks me out. ANY advice/personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! (Please nothing negative)

Hi,

I take xanax when needed for extreme
anxiety and it works really well but I
would be very cautious about taking
it while pregnant.  How close is the
next nearest doctor?  I would get a
second opinion if I was you.  Maybe
you will be fortunate and the pregnancy
hormones will help your anxiety.  I
hope so.

best wishes,

Thanks i should have meantioned i live in a rly small town...we have one baby dr for the whole county. Hes not a good doctor in my opinion (and many others around here) i dont trust his advice or opinions much at all. Ill do that and get other drs opinions on it ( or to help me wean off...) thanks again :)

dont think this a good pill while pregant, see lots law suits for this pill and baby problems,  but if your baby dr said it was ok i would ask a few other baby drs, go to the pregant site on here and ask there that be your best bet. good luck and congrats on the baby
