Ugh...finally figured out why I'm so sick....

I don't think it's morning sickness!  I've been taking Paxil for the past 3 years for severe anxiety...There was a time in my life where my anxiety was so bad I couldn't leave the house of drive.  So, since Paxil isn't safe for PG I've been weening off of it really fast so I can start Welbutrin which is safe.  I called my Dr last night and he said it's withdrawal symptoms!!!! FML!

Needless to say they're having me stop paxil immediately and start the welbutrin to cut out the side effects!  Hopefully I now start keeping some food down and walk in a straight line...grrrrr...

    I also had to get off Paxil before starting TTC and it was terrible! I had a ton of withdrawals, but thankfully after a while they went away and in the long run its all about having a healthy baby!

    Oh no!  I weaned off of lexapro before I got pregnant with my son and the side effects were awful!  I hope it passes quickly!

    That's always the worst. I hope the transition goes smoothly.

    If your insurance will cover it, I'd recommend getting the name brand Wellbutrin rather than the generic. I was on on it for depression rather than anxiety and had to switch to the generic for insurance coverage. It messed me up something serious, both physically and emotionally. Went back to name brand, and had no problems what so ever. I later did some research and turns out the adverse side effects are much more common with the generic.
