But you can address anxiety through diet and habit. For diet, here's a link to get you started. http://www.ctds.info/anxiety_diet_treatment.html For habit, find something that distracts you from your building anxiety. Painting, walking, playing a video game, baking, calling a good friend, whatever it takes. Step away from the situation causing you panic and do SOMETHING ELSE. Even if its just laying in bed and your mind is racing, get up and do something else. Good luck, hope those help. Drug free, safe, and you can keep using those techniques forever! Nope!

They usually are very familiar with what meds can and shouldn't be taken. Seroquel, I think, is not a good one for pregnancy. If it's a psychiatrist prescribing the Seroquel, you could ask there, too, but honestly, on this I'd go with the OB. First trimester is the most critical and sometimes a wash out period is needed for some meds, so talk to an OB before you conceive. Talk to your OB.
