Hi everyone. I will try to make this short.
I have been suffering from anxiety disorder for about 4 years now. I have been on meds in the past, but am currently not on anything. This is due to my husband and i deciding that we want to try for our first child. I was doing well with my anxiety until about two weeks ago. My rapid heartrate crept back up on me, and i ended up at the doc's office, of course thinking there was something wrong with my heart. I told my doc that I was trying to get pregnant, and wasnt sure about meds, but they gave me buspar. The buspar actually made me feel worse, so I am going back to the doc tomorrow.
Has anyone here had to suffer with anxiety while trying to conceive? Is there anything safe that I can take that will help me? It seems to be getting out of control now. For example, last night when the election news was on, it put me right into a panic attack because i was worried about the outcome.
Any advice would be appreciated. At this point, I am afraid that my chances of having a baby are going to be lessened because of the way my anxiety keeps flaring up.
