I have been diagnosed for severe anxiety. I was taking Lamictal (mood-stabilizer) and Klonopin, which worked so well. My husband and I have decided to have a baby and my OB took me off of everything, well all hell broke loose. My anxiety came back with a vengence that has even scared me. I have since gone to a new OB (she is more in lenient on meds) and I have gone to a psych that specializes in women's mental health for pregnant and wanting to get pregnant women. He is trying some new meds, none have worked yet, but he did give me back my Klonopin :). He told me that stress can be worse on a fetus than some meds. Anyone in the same boat? I need some feedback.

Have you tried any relaxation techniques or mindfulness activities?
Are your symptoms physical or mental?
Are there any times or activities when the anxiety is not so bad?
