Yes, for panic attacks. I take 1mg per day. I am just really worried.

xanax is a class d drug and should not be used during pregnancy.
Category D: There is positive evidence of human fetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).
you should talk to your doctor immediately and see what safer options are out there.

she is, but did you not read what i wrote? her dosage is 1/4 what yours is and she takes it on an as-needed basis. you're taking *4 times* the amount she is *daily*, you need to call your doctor. there are safer alternative medications you could be taking.

I would be worried too. There has got to be something better to take.
