Hi,
I currently take 10mg Lexapro, 1mg Ativan, 150mg Wellbutrin XL, and 3mg Valium for generalized anxiety that appeared when I went into recovery for anorexia 3 years ago.
However, I'm looking to get pregnant soon and I'm wondering what to do about all of this medication? I'm definitely physically dependent upon the Ativan and Valium. My psychiatrist says that the Lexapro should be OK to take during pregnancy, but that I should wean off of the other meds. I'm fearful to be bedridden again and in horrendous anxiety without the Ativan. Does anyone have any personal insight? Which is worse for the baby - the Ativan or having debilitating anxiety?
I will also post this in the Pregnancy section.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
