You need to discuss this with your doctor. Your symptoms can also be due to the pregnancy. I hope you find relief.

Definitely speak to your doctor. I was on the same dosage during my pregnancy and started having the same symptoms. I also got super anxious because as the baby grew, I had a hard time taking full breaths. Just until after the baby was born, the doctor increased my dosage and it really helped some. Definitely talk it over with your doctor, especially your obstetrician. It's very common to have a surge in anxiety during pregnancy due to all the fast changes and hormone fluctuations so they can help you cope with it.
