Hi all.
Not sure if Im posting this in the right section but here goes!
I am in the early stages of pregnancy- 7 weeks - and have been on lexapro for anxiety for 4 years. For the last year I have been on 5mg. I was at the doc yesterday & have been told to come off it.
Even though its only 5mg it is my crutch & I never intended on giving it up. But I need to for the baby - this is my first and at 39 most likely my only.
I am already feeling incredibly anxious - I suppose due to hormones etc. I dont wna tto feel like this for the next 8 months. I wan tto enjoy it. And of course because of the anxiety I have already diagnosed myself with post natal depression & already decided that Ill ind it hard to cope when the baby comes.
Has anyone been through this? Can anyone offer any advice to me?
TIA x
