Pregnant with No Klonopin: Advice Needed

[usysparawl]

I just found out this morning I am pregnant. No more klonopin. I am so afraid to be without it! However, it did reduce my twitches substantially, and my neuro told me "that was a very good sign" because klonopin doesn't work on ALS tiwtches.

So, what do I do now?

Congratulations Peg! You KNOW you are healthy, and I'm hoping this pregnancy will help you move past any lingering anxiety as you now have something much more meaningful on which to place your focus.

I have been absolutely fine without any meds for many many months now. My twitching is also substantially reduced.

I know you'll be fine without meds. You have so much to look forward to!

So what do you do now you ask? Put all your focus into your family and this pregnancy--and totally wipe BFS out of your mind. Let it be secondary to everything else going on. Pretend it's like having a sixth toe or something. Live with it, but laugh it off.

I'm thrilled to hear that you're pregnant because it means that you're moving forward with your life. No more feelings of being trapped by anxiety and worry. Good for you!!

Keep us posted--and I wish you the best. Here's hoping to minimal or no morning sickness!

try massage and or acupunture to relief twitching,,, taking your prenatal vitamins might help.. try visual stimulation too.

When I first started twitching I thought that I would be on the klonopin for the rest of my life , but I just decide that i wasn't going to let the twitches control my life . I Stoped taking anything for them over a year ago , and they have subsided quiet a lot over that period of time . i still twitch and just two weeks ago i had three days that i was twitching as bad as I was when this stuff first started , but I just did'nt let it bother me because of that most important word BENIGN .

You can do with out the Meds, So you twitch a litttle. I know they can be annoying and they are allways there , but focuss on bringing a new life into this world and focuss on all the love that you have to give too this new life .

I let the Twitches controll my life to a point where lost some one very dear to my heart , because I let my anxiety take controll, and the worrying did Absolutely no good . I learned the most important lesson of my life at the expense of the most precious relationship I have evern known.

Congrats! No meds for me. Never have taken any for BFS. You'll be fine with so much to look forward to! Ease off the meds just like you plan and then concentrate on the little bundle. You'll do great.
