I posted on here over the last few days explaining my severe anxiety at the moment.Iam 29 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from constant anxiety for the past 17 days now,i have been perscribed fluoxetine 20mg and diazepam 5mg which i did not want to take though was advised by my midwife that if it helps to calm me down it is ok in the third trimester though i will have to stop the diazepam in the weeks leading to the birth.
i am now feeling no better and have got the worst of my anxiety at the thought of being with anyone,it is destroying everything as i have even been unable to have my children stay at home for the past few nights as i am so bad,i just need to be in a room on my own and read or try to do something to distract me from my constant nervousness.iam scared of everything but mainly i have this constant fear of what people think of me and what i am doing,i cant eat or drink in front of anyone,i worry about the silliest things from leaving lights on to even my partner thinking im lazy if i go to bed early!(he is really good and understanding)i would really love some advice,on how long the meds take to work to am i doing the right thing by taking them? thankyou.
