Hi pinkflower! Thanks for the suggestions.
The nurse practitioner at the partial hospitalization program I was at back in October took me off Wellbutrin because she said it was bad for my anxiety/panic.
I was actually on Latuda briefly. My regular NP wanted to replace the Abilify I was on at the time with it because, as you said, it is Class B. It was one of the few meds she thought was okay to take during pregnancy. It didn't help me much and that is when I ended up in the PHP. The NP there, interestingly enough, said she would never prescribe it for pregnancy because even though it is Class B, it is so new she didn't believe it had stood the test of time as far as being safe for pregnant women. I wish I could get consistent answers from healthcare providers about these things--but I guess it's just one of those issues where there aren't clear answers.
I see my NP this morning. I am going to ask her to prescribe me some Prozac to help with the Effexor withdrawal. I am scared she is going to say that my reaction to coming off the Effexor shows that I am not ready for pregnancy or a baby. Sometimes because of my self-doubt I believe her. I need to stay strong and assertive and let her know what I need from her.
