hi
Hi better you control panic disorder by doing yoga and Pranayam. Because medicine may harm the fetus, its better to consult your doctor before conceiving.

Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Cipralex contains Escitalopram which is Prescribed in severe cases of Panic Attacks, OCD and Depression. It has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA, which means according to the recent animal studies, there is a evidence of adverse effects on fetal development, including growth anomalies, when administered at doses greater than human therapeutic doses. But, the same has not been reported in Humans, hence Cipralex should be taken only under the guidance of a Psychiatrist and only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
For Panic Disorder, Stick to your treatment plan, learn more about this condition as this will help you stick to your treatment plan and will help you understand your situation better. Avoid caffeine, smoking, alcohol. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation, exercise regularly and eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Make sleep a priority and sleep for 8 hours daily.
Wish you Good Health, Take Care.
