>>I am 11 weeks pregnant and suffer from panic and anxiety disorder. My

>>going through this transition but now I am tapering off. I was curious
>>if this xanex usage could cause birth defects since I used it when every
>>thing was developing? Hopefully now that I am getting used to my new
>>medicine I will feel better. Any info would be great. Thank you.

The drugs the original poster is asking about are:

Paxil: paroxetine hcl (an SSRI) Celexa: citalapram hydrobromide (an SSRI) Xanax: alprazolam (a benzodiazepine)

Brand names are a pet peeve of mine as well. :)
