[quote=Anonymous]I don't have panic in particular but do have terrible anxiety which affects my ability to function - can't eat, sleep etc when in the midst of an attack.  Mine has actually, contrary to the predictions of both my therapist and my OB, gotten BETTER during pregnancy.  That said, I remain on Celexa (an SSRI similar to Zoloft, thought as the previous poster said to be much safer for the baby than overwhelming anxiety) in my third tri.  I think the whole walk/yoga/eat less sugar stuff is ok, but if you have clinical anxiety like I do, it may just be meds you need.  I've come to that conclusion after fighting it for years - my docs liken it to diabetes - it's an imbalance in my system, my whole family has issues with it, and it's healthier for me and the little one.

Remember when you feel panicked - it will pass.  It will pass.  It ALWAYS does.  Another I use is - the world is the same whether or not I feel anxious.  It's my reaction to it that changes things.

Good luck.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.[/quote]
