Constant stressful situations have become a frequent phenomenon in the lives of most people. Anxieties related to work, family, personal problems exhaust.
All of us react to stresses in different ways. Someone calmly copes with internal anxiety. His nervous system becomes like a stone. However, more sensitive people take everything to heart. As a result, one is superimposed on the other. And now - hello, depression.
This also concerns pregnant women. They experience any trifle especially sharply. Therefore, it is important to attend to the question of helping your nervous system. With the help of the right drugs.
Afobazole in the case of nervous disorders
One of the effective drugs for various nervous disorders is Afobazol. It has been used for many years with the goal of preventing and treating neurological mental disorders. During this time, he took an honorable place among the drugs that help to find mental balance. It is used as a sedative.
Its plus is that it is not addictive. Also, the drug does not have any negative effect on brain activity. Performance remains at the same level. Unlike many soothing drugs, Afobazol does not cause drowsiness.
It reduces, or completely eliminates anxiety, suspiciousness, irritability. The person who uses this drug, ceases to experience fears. It gets rid of insomnia and tearfulness. The symptoms of those diseases caused by the psychosomatic factor also disappear.
Afobazol is available in the form of milky white tablets. Available without a prescription. Form release: 10, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100 and 120 tablets.
With a significant overdose and intoxication, cravings and fainting are possible.
When to use
Indications for use of Afobazole correlate with those problems that a woman often experiences during pregnancy: 
- excessive vulnerability and emotionality;
- constant fears for no reason;
- insomnia;
- uncontrolled alarm status;
- arrhythmia, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome and other physical illnesses;
- nervous state during the period of refusal of cigarettes;
- excitement associated with various stressful situations;
- poor concentration of attention;
- memory dips.
Assign Afobazol for oral administration. The patient takes one tablet after meals three times a day. Treatment usually lasts 2-4 weeks.
Sometimes - up to 3 months. The use of alcohol together with the drug will not cause poisoning. Nevertheless, the therapeutic properties will decrease to zero.
Pregnancy VS Afobazole
In a wonderful period of pregnancy, a woman is contraindicated in many medications. This is due to the fact that their composition may adversely affect the child. Therefore, even under severe stress, a pregnant woman should think a hundred times before taking this or that drug.
Is the list of forbidden Afobazol? Alas, but yes. Although experimental studies in animals have shown that it does not have a harmful effect on the fetus. However, as things are with people, it has not been fully studied yet.
It is known that feelings of anxiety and anxiety are typical for expectant mothers. Hormonal restructuring in the body does not pass without a trace.
But it is in the first trimester in the early stages of a woman under no circumstances should not take strong medications, in that when pregnancy is banned and Afobazol. After all, during this period, the baby's organs are laid and developed. Likewise with nursing moms. They are also prohibited from taking this medication during lactation.
On the last terms, too, do not use the drug. Rarely, but it happens when a doctor can prescribe this drug in the second trimester. But these are isolated cases. Most doctors will not take the responsibility to prescribe this medicine to a pregnant woman. It is better to consult with your doctor.
Usage during pregnancy planning
As we have already found out, it is impossible to take afobazole for women, but what about the planning of pregnancy? In such cases, 
can make an exception.
BUT!Only if it is really necessary for the treatment of mental disorders.
Once the course of treatment is over, the drug must be canceled. If the symptoms of the disease have not passed, it is worth moving on to lighter soothing agents.
Opinion of practicing doctors
Our opinion about whether it is possible to take Afobazol during pregnancy, is also among our experts.
I would not advise pregnant women to take this drug. The safety of its use for mother and child is not confirmed. Therefore, you should not take risks.
I note that the constant nervousness and anxiety can be the result of a lack of vitamins of the B group. I would recommend that pregnant girls in stress use more vitamins. It is possible to introduce additional additives. Change the situation, do something nice, like swimming. And all the anxiety will go away. Take care of yourself and your baby.
Psychiatrist Alexander Dyatchin
With regard to this drug, I want to say that people have too little knowledge about it. Hoping to "maybe" and recommending Afobazol to a future mother means taking responsibility for her health and successful development of the fetus.
Would I take this on my conscience? No. Since I know that exposure to certain drugs can affect the development of the placenta. And not only.
Individuals even cause heart disease and other organs. I do not want to say anything negative about this tool. In ordinary life, it helps to cope with experiences, depression. But not in the life of the future mother.
Psychiatrist Ivan Anisimov
Experienced in his "skin"
It does not hurt to get acquainted with the experience of women.
Adopted Afobazol during pregnancy. On the recommendation of the doctor, she took 1 tablet a day. Honestly, I did not even look at the instructions for use.
I really became calmer. All the problems at work, scandals with the authorities, I no longer touched. I stopped being embittered. Did not break without a reason for her husband. In general, everything was fine. While they did not tell me that it is not possible for pregnant women at all. I immediately stopped drinking this remedy. Decided not to take risks and went to the motherwort. However, from it a little. But what to do.
Irina
Toxicosis I was terrible. All me enraged and irritated. I did not know just what to do. At week 13, I gave up, because all these sparing drugs did not give any relief. Took from a friend Afobazol. Took one day, two, three.
Became the most lovely and peaceful person on earth! Apathy disappeared. But there was a giddiness. Fortunately, in time changed her mind. I read the instructions and realized that my baby is dearer to me. And I'll somehow tolerate a few months without antidepressants. I will do yoga, for example.
Anastasia
As practice shows, the effectiveness of Afobazol is far from a myth.
It is not by chance that it became the first drug in the country, which is produced without a prescription, which has been recognized by WHO as an effective and safe remedy for anxiety and stress.
When you feel that it is difficult for you to cope with life's troubles, you are disturbed by insomnia, apathy to everything, best of all - go to the doctor. He will assess the degree of malaise and help in choosing the right drug.
