if you need it, then take it. if you can hold out until the beginning of the 2nd trimester, then i would try to do that. stress hormones have a guaranteed impact on fetal development - so factor that in when you re weighing your options. best of luck to you. [ Reply | More ]

"dumb"? wow. judgmental much? anxiety can be completely normal in terms of cause and degree or it can be a debilitating disorder. you have no idea which the op has - not to mention the fact that your comment is really insulting to those who manage their anxiety disorders responsibly.

Frankly, I think *most* Americans who pop pills for depression are not managing theirso called "disorders" responsibly and are being deluded and mislead by big drug companies who have everything to gain by doing so. [ Reply | More ]

frankly, i think you are misinformed. i hope you never suffer from a crippling panic attack that makes you afraid to leave your own house or have periods when you feel worthless and cry for hours on end. [ Reply | More ]

I think American society and big Pharm have really done women, in particular, a big dis-service. I do think *most* but not *all* presciptions for deression medications are unnecessary...but big Pharma wouldn't make enough money to bother, otherwise. It is difficult truth to face. And certainly,as a pregnant woman I would be highly highly reluctant to start a pharma option. [ Reply | More ]

Your reaction is not only insensitive, but misinformed. Anxiety disorder is a real psychiatric disorder, and it can be exacerbated by hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, menstruation and menopause. If someone is suffering from debilitating anxiety, telling them to go for a walk to get over it is like telling someone with diabetes to wish real hard that it would go away. Ain't gonna happen.

I'm not mis-informed. Therre is a very high placebo effect iwth these drugs and American women are told they it is socail unacceptable to be anxious, afraid, angry, upset and told to take apill to fix things. We should be angry at big pharmacy,not those who speak the trith. Of course serious depresion and PPD exist and can and should be treated medically. But professionals and te press agree we are way over medicated. I would *never" *ever" take Prozac while pregnant. [ Reply | More ]

i would try other things first-it would make me nervous. add extra sessions of therapy and try yoga (which has been shown to help with anxiety disorders). lila wellness on the bowery has great prenatal yoga. [ Reply | More ]
