I had to slowly wean myself off of paxil, it was a mental struggle for me. With buspar did you doctor say that if you become pregnant you will have to stop taking the drug at the end of your pregnancy? From what I read they take you off the medication right before you have the baby, i am guessing they do not want the baby to have withdrawl symptoms. As far as xanex goes I am not sure how that will effect you right now being you are only 7dpo but remember if you do become pregnant you will then have an amazing reason to not take Xanax and hopefully be able to conquer that fear. I know all to well how anxiety and panic attacks feel like. It is very scarey. I don't think taking the xanex will negatively affect anything, in the beginning the baby is thriving off of the placenta. Good luck and I hope you get your bfp! and concur anxiety as well :)

Thank you for responding! My doctor didnt tell me about taking me off Busbar at the end of pregnancy but i'll be okay doing that. The biggest thing is fear of public speaking at my job! I absolutely hate it. Fortunately for the most part I only do it in May and June when I have to present a couple times per day for my new student orientations. I am an academic advisor at a college. This one today was an odd one out that I had to do at a staff meeting. So basically after today, I wont have to deal with public speaking for another year when orientation rolls around again! Whew! So i'll be okay being completely off it for a long while. That's really the only thing I ever take it for. I was just concerned that it would somehow harm my pregnancy IF I was pregnant right now and wasnt aware of it since i'm in my TWW. But I guess 7DPO is so early that It's okay. Thank you thank you for the reassurance! That makes me feel much better! :)
