Xanax during Pregnancy

Asked for Female, 32 years

I am 35 weeks pregnant and I've been having a lot of anxiety. During my 1st pregnancy I was able to manage. Now I feel like I am barely holding up. Last night I took a 1 tablet of Xanax .25mg. Is there any side effect?

Dear Patient,

Taking Xanax has serious side effects during pregnancy. most anxiolytics can harm the fetus. However, I understand how difficult a period this is for you and how hard you are trying to help yourself. kindly seek help from a psychiatrist/psychologist who can help you with coping mechanisms and milder medication that can help you and your baby stay safe and calm. we hope that you will take care of yourself and treat your mental well being with caution. If you need a referral to good doctors please, write back to us and we will be more than happy to help.
