I have had anxiety and panic attacks since I was in my 20's...Ive gotten anlot better in my 30's for some reason, no meds either...But also worried about anxiety of being preggers....Oddly enuf...I never felt better in my whole life than when I was pg.
It may be the surge of hormones but I felt great...
However, post deliivery, and due to many many drugs in my system after the c-section, I got big time anxiet, baby blues, post partum, whatever you want to call it. I went on paxil right away, and w/in 10 days I felt much more normal...And eventually after a few weeks I felt great...Really enjoyed being a mom of a newborm...Very peaceful beautiful time...(i stayed at home gratefully).
I have been off and on paxil since...Am back on 20mgs also trying to get preggers...So going down to 10mgs...I think I will be fine.
Alll I can say, the temporary discomfort is so very worth it.
Nothing is better than bringin a life into this world...
