I have been off my anxiety/depression medication for a few months now. I was prescribed Lexapro, Welbutrin, and Xanax. Now I can't sleep, I have panic attacks that are almost to the stage of passing out, and I feel very depressed to say the least. I was on them for almost 2 years - and on others since my 20s.

Are there any (safe for pregnancy) anxiety/depression medications that any mothers have experience with that I could suggest to my doctor when I see him in a couple of weeks?

Your doctor should be able to tell you what medications you can take. I know a lot of women just stop taking certain medications all together but if your problems are this severe there should be something you can take. Both your ob and your regular doctor should be able to give you some options.
