Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You cannot take it once you are pregnant. It is better to stop it in the month you are trying to conceive.
For controlling anxiety do breathing exercises and meditation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sheetal Agarwal
