Pregnant so need to reduce medication

I have been suffering from GAD & depression for some time. I have just found out I'm pregnant so told my GP who wants me off all medication ASAP unless my MH deteriorates.

I was on 40mg Citalopram and highest dose of propranolol. Hand cut both in half with the plan that in a month I go though a further reduction.

I'm trying to use yoga, meditation, mindfulness more to combat the effects of the medication change. However I'm feeling a bit teary and less calm despite this.

Life is busy, I work part time but have toddler twins so they are with me and DP all the days I'm off work (2 days with us both off and I have Mondays off with just the DTs:. Can't afford to increase their nursery time to give myself a day off.

I do have some holidays in May and then July so looking forward to that but it seems a while off!

Thank you for any advice of anything else I can try
