What alternative drug could she take that is safe. Her OCD's and anxiety are pretty intense without the Paxil. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for using healthcare magic
In that case, she could try fluoxetine. Paroxetine is not safer in pregnancy. It could lead to teratogenic effect. Fluoxetine is approved and safer during pregnancy. Try to avoid any benzodiazepine during pregnancy due to their sedative effect on fetus. Beside drugs, she can try behavioral therapy. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks

MD Hi, I recently went somewhere that had legal medical marijuana. I noticed that I had an issue where when I would try to start a conversation with somebody all of the sudden I would lose the thoughts and forget what I was talking about. Additionally I had severe anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder that 15 to 20 years of medication has not fixed. Two tiny drops of marijuana oil in the morning and in the afternoon or not worth fixing these issues completely. The marijuana was in oil form 80% THC 20% CBD and was not even enough to get me high. I am currently in a state where I cannot legally get medical marijuana. What can I do so that I can function a normal life.
MD Hey I am a 22 year old male, I weigh about 65kg. I have an extensive history of anxiety, particularly OCD, and have obsessed over many varied topics in the past. At the moment however, I obsess over leukemia, and other cancers sometimes. Also, sometimes heart attachs or cerebral aneurysms rupturing. In addition to the anxiety conditions, I have a history of substance abuse that may exacerbate the feelings. Also, I notice coincidences quite frequently that seem to relate to my concerns and then cannot stop thinking about them.
