Anxiety

in Postpartum Depression

I feel more and more anxious all the time.  I'm constantly worrying and I fidget all the time.  Sometimes I just can't sit still because I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack and I want to keep busy so my mind can't think about things.

Do any of you feel this way?  If so? Are you taking any medication for it?  What kind and is it working?

I've been taking Welbutrin for over 10 months which is helping me, but this anxiety is really hard. 

Thank you

    I've been managing my anxiety/depression for 15 years with Prozac and a counselor. After a week or so of just finding out I am pregnant reality is settling in and I am having anxious feelings. When that happens I have learned to tell people, call my support system and write things down. Also, when I was not TTC and obviously not when pregnant I took adivan to calm myself so I can think clearly and heal.  -Best!

    I am currently on Pristiq for my depression and clonazepam for my anxiety. I wasnt on those while I wad pregnant and boy did I feel the difference, I couldnt even drive without having to pull over atleast twice to have panic attacks. And now I feel like a normal person. Best wishes and GL!

    I'm on zoloft.  I had horrible anxiety (and depression) until we got the dosage right.  Have you talked to your dr about your continued anxiety?
