Follow-Up:

I found out I was pregnant 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have been on 50mg for about 4 years now. My doc said that I could stay on it,but it can cause birth defects or I can try going off of it by taking 50 mg every other day for a week and then quiting. I have been have constant electrical shocks, blurry vision, body aches, visual disturbances (ie flashes of light) and I am severely depressed. I have never been depressed b4, I was on it for panic attacks. The symptoms do not ssem to be getting any better. I would be curious to know if anyone has gotten over them. My doctor looks at me like Im crazy when I explain these symptoms. Im tempted to go back on it because Im not sure that tese withdrawals are good for the baby either. It interesting to note that I also experienced the blurry vision and electrical shocks when I was moved up to 100 mg a few years ago. The symptoms went away when I dropped back down to 50mg.
