Has anyone else needed to take prescription medicine to cope with anxiety or sleeplessness during their pregnancy?

    me. i had to be put back on meds due to my anxiety and panic attacks being so bad. i'm now on celexa 20mg.
    Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

    I'm on zoloft for anxiety-and it looks like it may be helping me help.  If you're having occasional sleeplessness try unisom (I also take that + b6 for nausea)

    I started taking Celexa 10 mg when I was 9 weeks. I was having severe insomnia. I was really struggling to function. I had been on celexa before but had weaned off while TTC. I am glad I went back on it. It has helped me tremendously.  I feel normal again!

    Yup, two different medications for depression/anxiety. I've tried being off them in the past but each time ended badly. If I'm having sleep issues, I take Unisom. If its REALLY bad, I take an ambien (I've done that maybe twice since getting pg).
