Yes, for panic attacks. I take 1mg per
day. I am just really worried.

xanax is a class d drug and should not be
used during pregnancy.
Category D: There is positive
evidence of human fetal risk, but the
benefits from use in pregnant women may be
acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the
drug is needed in a life-threatening
situation or for a serious disease for
which safer drugs cannot be used or are
ineffective).
you should talk to your doctor immediately
and see what safer options are out there.

she is, but did you not read what i wrote?
her dosage is 1/4 what yours is and she
takes it on an as-needed basis. you're
taking *4 times* the amount she is
*daily*, you need to call your doctor.
there are safer alternative medications
you could be taking.

I would be worried too. There has got to
be something better to take.
