Is It Safe To Take Advil For Stress And Anxiety During Pregnancy?

I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am under extremely high level of stress because my fiancé who is a Dallas Police Officer has a severe harassment case going on from some other Dallas Police officers and it continually is rotating around our home. I will not see my ob/gyn for a week, besides advil is there something I can take for my nerves? I am also older late 40 s pregnant with mulitples.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
Advil is a nsaid .. pain killer drug. If it is helping you you can take it for few days. Paracetamol is better pain killer in pregnancy.
Anti depressants/ anxiolytics are not recommended in pregnancy. If you need it very badly for your nerves.. you can take Ayurvedic medicine Bramhi pills at bed time for a longer time .
Thanks.
