[quote=Anonymous]I took Celexa throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding for anxiety and depression. I also took a Xanax for panic attacks as needed. My OB, psychiatrist, and the pediatrician all agreed it was fine given the alternative. I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist rather than a PCP if you can—they are well versed in the literature and will be beat able to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks. I found therapy very helpful. It might be worth seeing if you can find a place that doesn’t take insurance but offers free or sliding scale coverage. For example, as a sexual assault survivor, I was able to get free therapy for six months from the DC Rape Crisis Center, and they them referred me to a therapist whom I saw for several years. Good luck OP. It is awesome that you are recognizing that you need help. [/quote]
