Panic Disorder and Xanax?

I just found out that I am about 8 weeks pregnant and I am on Xanax for Panic Disorder. I have tried many medications in the past and this is the only one that works. Has anyone ever taken Xanax while pregnant and if so did it harm your baby?

if you have been on xanax,then really its worse for your baby to withdraw...or for you to go through withdraws..best is to talk with your doc about each month lowering the doseage..to wean

yes. my babys eyes popped out. no if your doctor perscribed it then its fine.

This stuff is NOT good for a fetus, it's probably similar to alcohol. The source i listed has some info if you scroll down.

if your doctor is prescibing it and he knows your preggers its ok. check with him to put your mind at rest

Best advice I can offer.
Call your doctor or pharmacist.
Don't take advice from others experiences.
Your physician knows your medical history.
It's best to be safe.
Congrats!
