anxiety and xanax while pregnant

Hello everyone please no judging. I only want helpful and positive comments. I already know the risks and I'm just here for support and help. Please nothing negative don't need to have a panic attack while trying to reach out. I have been taking .5 xanax for about 3 years (peach one). I take 2 to 3 daily and I only take them if I am having a real bad anxiety attack. I just found out I am 4 weeks pregnant I want to get off of them immediately but I am scared of the withdrawals. I am definitely gonna taper off and hopefully by the grace of God that takes no longer than a month. When o was pregnant with my 2 and child I got off cold turkey and went to vistaril but my anxiety was not as bad then. Has anyone went through this and successfully got off of it? Can u share your experience. I was thinking of substituting benadryl for them as much as I can in this month. I'm gonna talk to my phyc doc tomorrow. Just wanted some support and experiences. Thanks

Talk to your GP regarding going of the drug, He will support you and will help with the withrawal process. He will also be able, if possible give you a safe mediation to help you

Congratulations

I have taken xanax, but not when preg. that is really a doc question. i personally would try to get off of every drug (OTC or otherwise) while preg and as fast as possible, but i do not know your panic level. I am sorry you have to make this very hard decision. 

 

I didn't take any while I was pregnant but man I wanted to. I felt like I was going crazy while I was pregnant. So I understand what you mean!
