Hello,
Prior to becoming pregnant I wasn't on Duloxotine and Quetiapine to help me with my extreme anxiety which boreders psychosis.
When I found out I was pregnant I stopped taking both as they can harm baby but now I'm 26 weeks and really struggling.
Back in September I was a victim of sexual assault nd lately I have been having a lot of sudden and extreme flash backs to it.
I've been to see my GP and I'm under the mental health midwife team too but I've been told that I should stay away from any medication to treat my condition as all can harm baby in the third trimester.
I've made contact with a sexual assault group to help me deal with that but it's my anxiety that I already have that also starting to cripple my normal behaviour.
Can anyone else offer anything I can do or any medication I could suggest to my GP? I feel like an utter failure not being able to go through my pregnancy without wanting medication to help but it's the only thing I've found to work previous (well those two pill I took previously anyway).
Luckily I do have a supportive partner who is here for me but I hate how much he has to see me tear myself apart over my anxiety.
Thank you
Xx
