I did have this years ago for a short while , but honestly can’t remember anything about it ( about 12 years ago , pnd ) . I have been struggling lately with low mood and huge anxiety . The dr has just prescribed me this. Originally they wanted to give me sertraline but I was concerned about weight gain.
Anyway - I am so scared to take it. Will it affect me driving ? Can I drink alcohol on it ? ( I barely drink but have a few events coming up.
Im ok during the day at work but when im home , kids in bed and alone with my thoughts im really low and my anxiety is getting worse and I just really want to stop feeling like this. Im sat here now looking at the tablets and feel I am going to have a panic attack at the thought of taking them - its the thought of the side effects , or if I won’t be able to be a proper mum to my kids , if I will be a danger to them if I drive , if I’ll be “ out of it “ . Also guilt - I love them so much and I feel like I’m betraying them in some way because I have them and I love them so much so why am I feeling so low ?
Sorry my head is just a mess at the moment I don’t know if I’m going to take them - would anyone be willing to share their experience ?
