I have been having severe anxiety constantly for the past 16 days now,i have been to my doctor on several occasions and have been perscribed a low dose of fluoxetine.Ihave now been taking these for 2 weeks and am still really bad,i went back to my doctor today who advised me to take 5mg of diazepam 3 times a day for the next 14 days untill the fluoxetine really start to kick in.
i am so scared about taking these as i am now 29 weeks pregnant,i have been assured by my midwife and doctor that it is ok to take as long as i stop taking the diazepam before 4 weeks before the birth,i am just so worried as i cant function,sleep or eat at the moment and i have two other children to care for(luckily my partner his here to help)though i know that i need to be better for them i am so worried about any effects on my baby,i would really appreciate some advice,or if anyone is in a similar situation
thanks
