[quote=sybersus]I'm sorry to hear you're having panic attacks. I've had a few so far during my first trimester, and they've been really scary -- especially since I feel very responsible for chemicals that my be flooding to my child while I am feeling so out-of-control. My psychiatrist and my midwife told me that I absolutely should be taking Xanax when I have a panic attack, even though that is considered a "class D" drug, that generally should be avoided in pregnancy. They both say that the chemicals that flood through the body in a panic attack are worse than the Xanax for the baby. Also, since my panic attacks are sporadic and not daily, it's not like I'm exposing my baby regularly to the Xanax. I also see a therapist every week, which has been really helpful. I do EMDR, traditional talk therapy, and cognitive behavioral work there. I would recommend that you speak with your doctor about the options out there. Good luck and congratulations on your little one! [/quote]
