Anxiety Self Help

DATE: Jun 29 2011, 3:17 pm / MOOD: Curious

I've been doing a lot of research on taking medication while pregnant. I've read that some anti-depressants can increase birth defects by 1% but there was not a lot of research done on benzodiazepines. Has anyone here have had any experience with taking these medications while pregnant?

Thanks.

I'm going for an MRI tomorrow and getting bloodwork done.  2 big anxiety producing situations for me but I'm going to do because I have to do it.  I am stronger than I think I am and by this time tomorrow night it will all be over.

I thought that I would try this out because something has come up in my life and no one around me can relate to it.  I'm hoping someone on here can.  I am getting surgery in January and I am absolutely petrified.  The thought of surgery, needles and putting me to sleep is like one of my biggest nightmares.  I really don't know how I am going to do this but I know that I have to stay positive and convince myself that I can do this and will do this.  One of my biggest fears is getting an IV and then being put to sleep.  I would love to hear from someone with anxiety who has gone through this and can give me some encouraging words.  I'm trying not to fall apart and my family is super supportive but I am just so scared.  How can I put this all into perspective?
