@@lyrikwilliamstv Switching medications is something that commonly needs to happen during and after pregnancy due to physiological changes that take place. Additionally, dosing sometimes needs to change in order for the medication to be effective. Talk with your healthcare provider about re-evaluating the medication you are using. I would also recommend you start cognitive behavioral therapy which is a form of therapy that helps change your disruptive thought processes. It can help you to recognize the negative, intrusive thoughts and reformulate them into more positive, constructive thoughts. It's important to look beyond medication to help with anxiety. Medication is just one piece of your recovery model.
