Pregnant with severe anxiety/panic attacks

[DenaRenee78]

Had to go to the ER again tonight.  =(   My anxiety and panic was out of control. Finally got a decent doctor who would actually care enough to try and help me. They gave me some IV fluids and some Ativan. He is also doubling my Effexor XR to 150 from 75. I am still on Buspar too. He also sent me home with some Ativan as a PRN.

So here's hoping something will work! This pregnancy has me feeling like I am going to lose my mind. Here's hoping and praying!

When you have your baby, get on Klonopin asap, It will hurt a fetus, so not yet. But it is the only anti panic med and honestly Ativan is very harmfull to your unborn child, although not as bad as Klonopin. There may be birth defects so ask your doctor if you really need ativan at this time, it can cause bad things. Take Care, you are not alone...
