I was on lexapro but quit after I became pregnant. I recently have had bad anxiety because I went to dentist and I have a small infection in my wisdom tooth and I need to have it pulled out I’m not scared of pulling it out the anxiety of them telling me infection is eating me up .im so messed up right now over that I keep thinking worse things.

Im on prozac, most antidepressants are pregnancy safe there are no side effects or anything that can affect the baby

My daughter was and she took magnesium. It helped her a lot! Magnesium Malate is the best form. Also I take it and ginseng to calm the mind body and spirit and get rid of sticky negative thoughts. They help so many, and truly helped me! My daughter couldn't have gotten thru it all without that. <3 Congrats, btw! Blessings! =)

Hi! Iam also pregnant I’m 26 weeks and have been suffering so badly!!!! And like you I actually have a cavity in my wisdom tooth and needs to be pulled out I’m waiting till after the baby but I’m so scared of the cavity that might cause an infection. Are you on any antibiotic for the infection?

I’m from California, & I’m on no current meds I was on Celexa but it made me feel so weird due to all the hormonal changes etc... now I’m suffering from Insomnia I keep waking up at night with horrible Palpitations and Racing heart Beat which then takes me into a panic! I have to also get my wisdom tooth taken out due to a Cavity but as of right now no pain or nothing just waiting to give birth then have it pulled out. I’m due in March so it’s not that far long. Where are you from?
