*anxiety Disorder During Pregnancy* Posted: 08-07-05 09:43am
:shock: hey guys! I need some advice!
For the past three years I have
experienced general anxiety. It feels
like my heart is always racing, & my
nerves are shot...I was just beginnig
college when all of this came about, thus
assuming it was subconsciously related.
I tried to cope without meds, but soon
decided to try something after things got
worse. I found zoloft, which worked for
me great.
I gradually "weemed" off of it a couple
months before I found out I was pregnant
(just a coincidence). I am currently
five months, & up to this point had no
anxiety problems! Very exciting!
However....Just this past week I have
noticed it overwhelming me once again. I
was wondering if anyone else has
experienced this during pregnancy &
what they did. I am worried that my
anxiety itself could harm my fetus. I
would like more information on zoloft (or
of similiar nature) during pregnancy, but
however, I more importantly would like any
advice or knowledge anyone has on the
anxiety alone harming my fetus. Im
assuming that when my heart races, it also
races that of my baby.... Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
