My name is Megan and I am almost 31 years old. My husband and I have been ttc since February 2014. We got pregnant in June 2014, but I unfortunatetly lost it at 5.5 weeks. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder when I was 13 years old. I have been on medication ever since then and I have done great with it. But a month ago, I went in to see my regular doctor for an appointment and when he found out I was ttc he wanted me to wean off a medication I have been taking forever (Venlafaxine) and see if I can just stick to taking my other one (Buspirone) due to the fact that it can cause problems in pregnancy and the other one I was on is safe. Well I slowly weaned off of it over a month and I haven't had any of it for the past week. Well I am having HORRIBLE anxiety. To make a long story short he decided it was best to put me on another type of anxiety medication (Zoloft) that is a lot safer to take during pregnancy. Well I'm still in the inbetween period of my body withdrawaling from the first one and the 2nd one I've only taken for 2 days so it hasn't kicked in yet. I'm sure there are other ladies out there that are dealing with this?? I hope at least? Pregnancy can be stressful anyways, so I'd like to meet some ladies that may have anxiety or know how it feels to deal with taking medications for an anxiety disorder. Please join me in the journey and we can get through it together!
