	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Sun 21, Dec 2008 10:16am: Hi, Self medication is not a very good idea and it is also not the first management option in your case. NO medications are prescribed usually in the first trimester, nd with caution even afterwards. It would be best to consider visiting a psychologist and discuss the further plan of management in your case. The choices of treatment include psychotherapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy); lifestyle changes; or pharmaceutical therapy (medications). Mainstream treatment for anxiety consists of the prescription of anxiolytic agents or antidepressants or referral to a psychologist.
