What did you do. Would your doctor prescribe antidepresants? I can’t deal with this anymore. I was so excited about the baby the whole pregnancy and now I don’t even feel like I want to have the baby anymore and it scares me! I have no appitite and I am having panic attacks. I’m going to the docter on Wednesday, I’m just wondering what he can do for me. It feels hopeless!

Well im going to start by saying i am the biggest hypercondriac you may ever meet?
I have also been under a lot of stress lately, my boyfriend who is my everything, just got locked up for 6 months. i feel totally lost w/o him! My parents and i barley get along.. my mother and i usually do, but not my father and i. We are constantly arguing, schools a stress factor for me too!

Well i thought i had a brain tumor because i had been twitching, in my head (it feels rather “unsteady” and moves “uncontrollably” at time.) twitchings in my arms, legs, feet, hands, this is usually in the morning, however happens anytime of the day. I get shakey, been getting headaches in weird places but not severe headaches, and not followed by nausea. these headaches are on top, sometimes, sides, and back of head, also some in neck, slightly. I been sleepy earlier then usual. Feeling “weird” unreal?, Seeing floaters, no double vision or blacking out! I do vomit when i get really stressed and if i cry to hard. I went to doc a while back and he sed i had a mild sinus infection. Had some ear “buzzing” like a vibration! This is why im scared its a brain tumor! Idk the symptoms, but that was my first thought, but like i said, ima hypercondriac!

Early in my pregnancy I had a bloodclot in my placenta. After that I began having horrible anxiety attacks. Then I became severely depressed where I was detached from my baby. It was awful. I cried and cried then I worried what was happening to the baby with all the crying. Now that he is born I am still depressed because I was like this at his birth and felt like it was my fault and could have done something to prevent it. Just looking for answers and anyone else who has been through this awful nightmare.

I am 22 weeks along, and wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Before becoming pregnant, I had been on Prozac and Klonopin for GAD and depression. I am 27, and have had these disorders since age 14 (GAD since childhood). None of it is due to enviromental factors, I had a great childhood and life but internally I was always a wreck for no apparant reason. Since I became pregnant, almost all my symptoms are gone. I feel fantastic, and I am on no medication. Has anyone ever heard of this? Now I am wondering if my problems were caused by either a hormone or vitamin deficiency (I take prenatal vitamins and my iron pills daily). I am so relaxed and peaceful, and everyone around me notices as well.
What do I do after the baby comes to stay this way?

Just wondering.

i’m 10 weeks pregnant and insanely depressed.. it’s really bad.. i will see a doctor about it, but in the mean time would like to know if anyone was able to effectively treat their depression during pregnancy.. are there any meds you can take? i’m not just a touch sad, i’m severely depressed..

I am 9 weeks pregnant and am on 40mg. I really wish I didn’t have to but I have a really bad anxiety disorder and 2 other kids i have to take care of. I can not take Zoloft because It makes my anxiety worse. Celexa has been the only thing that helps. I took it when pregnant with my 2nd child but I was on a lower dose and started later in the pregnancy. He is now a happy, healthy and very smart 19 month old.
Has anyone taken this while pregnant in their first trimester? If so how much and did everything go well?

I was hospitalized in 2004 with a severe anxiety disorder, it was to the point that I didnt know what was wrong with me, and why i did not feel right, and was ready to “end” it. I was so tired of feeling mental.

I was put on Paxil CR for 2 years, switched to Lexapro when Paxil was recalled, then one year later, switched back when it back on the market. So Overall I have been on Paxil CR mostly.

I have been on my medication for 4 years now. I tried to get off of them because my husband and I want a baby. I realized how important for my function it was to be on the medication. I am on Effexor now on the lowest dose and take it every other day. I am not too happy with the research that has been done. Does anyone have a better idea? Please help me!

Im 29 weeks pregnant and keep having these horrible panic attacks. Anyone else pregnant and having panic attacks! This can’t be normal…
