Ok, I have not had my period in 6 months, never had sex and don’t plan on it at such a young age.
This has happened before, except I went about 5 months without a period.

Now, I have been EXTREMELY emotional, I can barley drop something without wanting to cry. People say things and it makes me angry, just people being around me makes me angry.

Now, should I go to the doctor about my period?
Is my period affecting my emotions?
And is my hormone balance out of wack because of everything?

NOTE: I take anti-depressants, I am on them for anxiety, I took these before I had the period problems, so I am sure it is not any anti-depressant thing. In fact, the only side effect is dizziness so, I am not worried about my anti-depressant.

I currently am not overweight. Always fluctuate 3-4 pounds and a little heavier in the winter, but I eat a good diet and exercise regularly. However, in the last 5 months I’ve began a habit of about 2.5 cans of diet soda a day. If I stop this and maintain my regular lifestyle will I lose weight? How long til I see a difference?

I have been prescribed two Xanax pills for an upcoming flight next week, one for the flight down and one for the flight back. I will be 5 months pregnant at the time of the flight and my doctor (after much research) has determined that a low dose of Xanax taken on a two time basis only, would be highly unlikely to cause harm to my baby at this stage of development. This drug is also likely lablelled the "class D" as a precautionary measure because there hasn’t been a lot of research on it.

I’ve done a lot of research of pregnant women and sedatives and almost all have been prescribed Xanax for limited use over drugs like Valium and Adavan.

My question is that since I’ve never taken Xanax before (pre-pregnancy I took valium to fly), I’m not sure how soon I should take it before my flight and how long it lasts. My prescription is for two .5 mg pills (one for the flight down and one to fly back)

Also I’d love to hear positive stories from those who’ve taken it to fly.
Little Freedom: I don’t think it takes a week…I only have two pills! :) I’m hoping that an hour before or so will do it but I’m looking for more insight from actual users.

Ninja: Get over yourself. Yeah, I’ll go smoke a cigarette. Obviously my very professional doctors (in consultation with experts in Boston) have NO IDEA what they are talking about. You must be the expert…I should have called you first apparently.

Before you comment you should research the effects of extreme high blood pressure on a fetus during high anxiety events. You will learn very quickly that this is far more dangerous than taking ONE low-dose sedative. But wait, you’re the expert so you already knew that right?
I’ve already mentioned this, but this isn’t a drug I take or will be taking on a regular basis. It’s a one time thing….please keep that it mind when answering. Thanks!

I did go to your link and it’s the same as to what I’ve found…

"Alprazolam is not recommended for use during pregnancy due to the potential for harm to an unborn baby. Consult your doctor for more details."

The key word is "potential". It has not been "shown" to cause harm.

The drug has not been tested on pregnant women because it is illegal to test on pregnant women. Also, according to my doctor, the potential harm comes with the developing fetus and I will be well past the stage of organ development and formation.

I do appreciate everyone’s concern…I really do…but I feel I’ve made it very clear that this has been researched thoroughly and the question I am asking is not on it’s safety. I would not take something that I thought would harm my baby.

I’m asking for usage directions.

Ok, im almost 5 months pregnant and have a small tummy showing already well i went through a HORRIBLE sick stage through the entire first 3 months of my pregnancy and could barely eat anything! i even had a hard time eating crackers, well i lost a very good bit of weight and i was already pretty slim, plus i use to be slim but pretty curvy i played volleyball and was on the dance squad in high school well now iv pretty much lost all that muscle.. plus iv lost around 16 pounds. so im so little now.. with this belly and no shape anywhere else i look like a stick with a round belly! and i cant tan in the tanning bed now so im extremley pale now. I feel like i look like a clown when i put my make up on now cuz im so pale and iv lost all my curves and soooo much weight.. iv tried so hard to gain some weight back but iv just stayed at the same weight. nothing works! i dont feel attractive or even pretty at that.. it has pulled my self- confedence down so much.. i just want to gain weight back! or muscle or something! please please help

I’ve been on a work out routine for 1.5 months and doing 45 min cardio and weight lifting 3 times a week. I have seen loss in size (inches), but not weight. I know you gain muscle, which messes with what you see in fat loss on the scale. So, I am wondering when this balances out. I go to a tiny gym and have to trainer to help tell me how many pounds of muscle I’ve gained. Any estimation would be helpful to motivate me.

The past two days my body has been doing all sorts of things that I am unsure how to perceive.

I am on the pill and have regularly been consuming my dose. This past week I missed a dose though, but "caught up" the following day.

On Sunday I had unprotected sex

On Tuesday I started to experience some light bleeding (bright red blood, that only came about when I peed). At first I thought it may have been my period, but I am not supposed to start my period until next Monday.

Today the flow of blood has increased slightly and color ranges from bright red to light brown. More reason for me to think it’s my period, right?

Every time I have gone to the bathroom today I experience some lower abdominal pain after I have pee (almost like an extreme sensation to urinate…minus the urine).

So I hope someone can understand the confusion I may be experiencing, because the reasoning behind all of this could range from life changing to petty.

Reading mildly related questions I have only been able to grasp onto the following concepts:

-Missing a dose in my birth control caused in abnormality in my cycle
(I have been on the pill for 5 months now)
-I’m experiencing early stages of pregnancy (with bleeding and abnormal abdominal pains??)

Any feedback is appreciated…

Thanks
