Common Questions and Answers about Anti anxiety drugs and breastfeeding
anxiety
Okay, now I think I know what you are taking, sertraline, which in the states is Zoloft. Plus your Xanax equivalent. These are medications that are often prescribed for OCD, anxiety, depression. The sertraline can have side effects. What are you feeling like? I don't want to list side affects because I don't want you to start looking for particular one. :) How much Sertraline are you taking and how much alprazolam do you take during the day?
Anyone on anti anxiety medication? Or have been for prior pregnancies? I'm 23 weeks and I'm so worried about a lot of things making me sick (I also struggle with OCD and it has gotten really bad the last couple months, I spend a lot of time washing my hands). The worst thing for me is that we've had a cat living with us for the last three months and I am terrified of toxoplasmosis and it has really ruined me as far as my anxiety goes... gahh...
I have not heard of this particular medication, but just went through something similar. I was prescribed an anti anxiety medication for post partum depression. The prescribing Dr. (a physciatrist) was confident it was fine to use. The pharmacist told me it was not recommended while breast feeding, and my son's pediatrician also recommended not to be on it while breastfeeding.
Discuss this with your prescribing doctor and pharmacist. I was on wafarin for six months while on anti anxiety medication. A good discussion with my doctor alleviated many of the concerns. My biggest issue was just keeping my INR in the correct range with the wafarin, but that comes with taking this type of medicaton. I had no major issues the entire time, but kept an open line of discussion between my doctor and myself.
I took Compazine when I had nausea from Depakoate years ago and it had no effect. That long term side effect is of potential concern from it and all the anti-nausea medications that deal with the dopamine system. They should be taken if neccessary and of course some people do need them. I have tardive dyskinesia from anti-psychotics and I take Zofran to control it.
whatever i say i get, so i would feel bad if i dissapointed them so i wouldnt want them to know that im on drugs. But i was on my anti- depressants and then i smoked a lot of marijuana. Today is my 15 day high and i actually want to be sober now but im afriad its not going to wear off. Please help Me.
I have been on 20mg of celexa now for a week and he would like me to go up to 30mg soon. Does anyone know how long it takes for this stuff to kick in, I'm just wondering if I should hold off with upping to 30mg for awhile and see if the 20 mg is enough. I hate feeling ansie all the time, and the klonopin does seem to help with that, but isn't it pretty addictive? My dr. said not to worry about that and when I started feeling better we would wean off of the klonopin?
I was diagnosed with anxiety over 5 years ago. I am 62 years old and post menopausal (for 6 rs) I was advised to see a psychiatrists, who has prescribed countless medications, including ativan, klonopin, clonodine, seroquel for sleep, and several anti depressants. I have also been seeing a psychologist for 3 years and countless other doctors such as MD's and OB's.
ve learned it all passes no matter what in my PERSONAL experience. With or without drugs... anxiety passes. I personally think drugs make things worse for some people, like myself. That's why I'm staying clear and just doing talk therapy.
Talk therapy has taught me a lot about UNDERSTANDING anxiety and how it works, and how the body works. It makes all my symptoms if I ever do go through anxiety, feel like they are nothing but just sensations. They can't harm me..
Hi, I posted a while back about having PVCs and flutters. After a 30 day event Moniter I was told that I have PACs, PVCs, and about 6,000 a day. That seems like a very scary number to me, but my cardiologist said it was still a low number. I have a lot of anxiety about this, and he prescribed me an anti-arrythmia drug to take as needed since I mentioned I'm feeling long runs of the palps happening on and off for hours sometimes. I'm already on a beta blocker.
Are a few extra pounds in your midsection easier to deal with then extreme anxiety and panic attacks and depression? For me the answer is a no brainer but there was a time when I would fail to realize just how bad I was before the medication and needed to be slapped in the face with their return before coming to realize the obvious.
yes, i do and it's from anxiety. have you been diagnosed with anxiety?
