Postpartum Depression

Anxiety return after getting pregnant?

I'm newly pregnant with my second child and on 100 mg of zoloft per day. I feel like since I got my bfp I have all this anxiety again. It's over nothing specific, just random every day things. Has anyone else had this happen?

Re: Anxiety return after getting pregnant?

  • Hey. I am 9 weeks with my first child. I suffered with severe social anxiety for years and took 30mg of paxil daily along with 1mg of klonopin as needed. I weined myself off the paxil about a year ago, due to wanting to TTC. My anxiety symptoms were pretty good, I have a less stressful job we moved to a quieter neighborhood, things were good. I have noticed that since finding out I am pregnant that my anxiety is slowly creeping back. This time it doesn't seem the same, I am just generally anxious. I will wake up in the morning and just be anxious and not really sure what to do about it. I try to drink lots of water, in my mind I think that helps. I'm not sure why I just do. I go back to my OB on 1/2 and I am definitely going to mention it to her. You are definitely not alone. :-)

  • Thanks! Yeah I feel the same way.. I don't feel like it's the same as before either! It's a little unnerving either way though. I am hoping it's just hormones!
