Question by Laura: What anti anxiety medication can you take while pregnant?
I am currently on Paxil and I know that is harmful to the baby while pregnant. I would like to start trying for a family with my husband, but currently really do need the anxiety medication. Anyone else take anything while they were pregnant or know someone who did?
Just a little added info, the source of my anxiety came when I started having horrific back pain. I have scoliosis and living w/ the pain, put me on edge and I started having issues w/ anxiety.

I hope someone can tell you what medication you could use, but You still need to research all this completely and get a doctors opinion.
I hope , instead , of taking the meds you will take this time before the pregnancy to have a hormone expert check and balance your hormones, first, to get a baseline , which will br helpful in pregancy and after, and two, because hormone deficiencies or imbalances are often the source of anxiety and other so called mental illnesses………
An OBGYN may know female hormones, but they are not hormone experts………
Here are some examples of doctors who you could consult with……..
