Hi all,
I’ve posted earlier about my postnatal journey. I am 4.5months postpartum and developed a severe health anxiety during lockdown and right after having my son. Anyways, I had an upset stomach due to antibiotics after birth which still hasn’t settled during the middle of the night. I’m waking between 1-3am and going for a number 2- tmi.
Anyways, the GP suggested I try sertraline and I reacted badly with a swollen eye on the second dose so she told me to quit as it was only two tablets. A week after she told me to try Citalopram which made my stomach symptoms worse and I couldn’t stop throwing up right after the 3am toilet run. I gave it up after two days. It’s been a week now and I’ve had severe insomnia and I still feel sick.
Is it possible to have withdrawal after only taking two doses? I suppose it’s 4 doses as I previously also had the sertraline in my system.
Feeling really rubbish and like I will never feel better. Wide awake and it’s 4.23am. Stomach cramps and just like I have a stomach bug. I’d really appreciate some stories about people who’ve recovered after just trying these damn antidepressants.
