Hi,
I just found out that I am 5-6 weeks pregnant. I was on Lorazepam (Ativan) and had to stop taking it cold turkey last week. Now I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms including severe anxiety and panic attacks. I have been getting these 2-3 times a day, and am having trouble just functioning. I was told that I could take Buspar in my last pregnancy, but decided not to do that. I am wondering if I can use this now to help ease my withdrawal symptoms from the Ativan and any anxiety I might deal with during the pregnancy? It seems to be rated a category B, but I cannot find much information beyond that. Any helpful information is appreciated.
Thanks
