So I called, and waiting to here back from my doc. The nurse thinks the rises in anxiety is from weaning of my anti anxiety medication. I have been med free for three days, with out withdrawal. Well I thought I was home free, boy was I wrong I have been sitting on my couch trying not have a full fledged panic attack for the past hour. I will update this thread when heard back.

After talking with my ob herself over the phone, she wants me to see a psychiatrist who will have better knowledge of pregnancy safe anti- anxiety medication. Which means, I will be fighting this feeling till after the first of the year. Wish my luck ladies. She also said that, she agrees that waiting till the 5th will give me the best for Baby Spike to do what it needs to do.

I didn't see your first post yet but I wanted to let you know you are not alone. I went off of my anxiety medication as soon as I got pregnant this time - cold turkey because I was already on the lowest dose possible. It. was. awful. Panic attacks. Constant crying. I felt like everything was spinning out of control and I was sure to end up admitted to the psychiatric floor of the hospital. I had a few extra therapy sessions when the panic and emotion was at it's most intense and within days I felt better. My anxiety level is still a bit higher than it would be if I was on my medication but I haven't had a panic attack since Friday. Just wanted to tell you that although it seems really bad right now, it won't be bad for long. ((hugs)) to you.
