[Chuffchuff]

New thread for when the first one gets full - welcome everyone

Had anyone developed tinnitus from taking 100mg sertraline? They have worked really well for me been on 50mg for about 4 months I want to go up buy worried about tinnitus might seem a bit random I know but I know it can be permanent, im not worried about any other side effects because I know there not permanent. I've got eye floaters & really dint want tinnitus aswell lol. Hopefully it's not that common? ?

Not sure choc sorry.

I've had such a good day I went to Thorpe park and it was so fun!

I took Imodium the other morning and haven't been since today I'm feeling really good in general so I'll see what tomorrow brings. How was your day?

Yes mine wasn't bad actually started off rubbish n I felt crap but then I went to bakewell with the BF & his little ones.

I've got the dentists in the morning I'm really not happy about that lol very anxious

Glad you had a good day! I had a bad anxiety attack this morning and spent most of the day in bed recovering

Sorry to read that sinful

Lol I've just realised u wasn't talking to me.. I wondered why u mentioned taking immodium lol

I was talking to everyone on the thread

I'm in bed. Had such a great day but now I'm exhausted and already anxious about everything I've got to do tomorrow.

Thank you :) I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day. I've managed to force down some pizza and feel so sick now lol.

Struggling this morning. I have to take dd to a club before school which she hasn't done before. I haven't paid yet (in case she doesn't like it) and she hasn't got the right outfit. She usually gets the bus which is opposit our house but I need to drive her in for 8:10 and there'll be other parents there which is something I find awful atm. Argh.

Hope your daughter likes the club ;) I struggle with the other parents too tbh, I'm a nightmare in the playground and go into a cold sweat. My heart starts pounding and the take flight mode kicks in. Luckily I have a friend who's kid goes the same school and she will take and collect mine if I'm not feeling good

I know im a bit late but mind if i join? Need a few people who are in th same boat to chat to really?!
Recently had my sertraline bumped up to 150mg a day.

Hi kitkat. I've only been here a few days. I'm on day 3 of Sertraline and feeling poo. How you doing?

Day 3. Just got back from the docs and found out I've another ear infection which is the cause of my dizziness. Nice big antibiotics to take. I don't know if I should stop the Sertraline and do this course of antibiotics then start fresh? Not feeling great health wise makes my anxiety really bad and taking Sertraline I expect a rise in anxiety till they start working but I don't think I'd cope till I get shot of this infection. Advice would be great please. Doc was a bit useless and wanted me out for the next patient!

I would keep taking it. The antibiotics will kick in in 24-48 hours. You could also take a probiotic drink to stop the ab's upsetting your stomach.

I'm on day five now still feel really anxious in the morning but it wears off a bit until I go to bed.

Hi everyone.

I've been in 50mg for almost 3 weeks now. I felt great at the 2 week mark but the last 2 or 3 days have been absolutely awful and I feel like I'm back to square one with my anxiety

I'm having my dosage increased to 100mg on Friday so I'm hoping that helps.

On not in*

I would keep taking it & try & power through because ull av to start all over again when your better. Hopefully the antibiotics wil start working soon

How is everyone? I feel like a fraud and like I don't need to be on these tablets and that I was overreacting

So sorry, the site was down and I couldn't get on for a couple days!
Spotty how you doing? Choc how you? Feeling shitty today. Good news yesterday that my breast lump isn't cancerous but anxiety is through the roof! I think it's all caught up

That's great news on the results! I wonder if what I'm feeling is 'numb' right now as I'm not feeling much about anything if that makes sense? No bad anxiety no excitement no nothing.

Have you got plans today? I've got to tidy up the mess my dc made with a load of polystyrene before school.

I'm so happy about the results that I could scream lol. I think the numbness is part of the tabs kicking in. It should pass. I remember that feeling on the citalopram at times and neither liked not disliked the numb feeling. At the time I was just glad to not be having a constant anxiety attack as that was the stage I was at if that makes sense?
Oh jeez! Polystyrene is a bugger to clear up, along with glitter haha. You find the crap for days!
No plans today, I did some tidying up down stairs this morning and am back in bed. My bedroom is my 'safe' place when I feel anxious. I need to try and calm myself down. You'd think that getting good biopsy results would calm me but I think all the stress and worry has caught up and made it rocket

Oh have my 13 yo daughter home from school too as she's got a migraine. She's another reason my anxiety has gotten bad over the past year as she started self harming. I've been docs with her and cried out for help and all I can get for her is a 10 min councillor slot at school once a week. She has friends but don't want to go out with them etc so now they don't bother asking her. I'm wondering if she's seen how withdrawn I get with anxiety and is copying or if she also suffers like me.

Oh no that sounds really tough. I work at a Drs surgery and there just isn't enough help out there for children. CAMHS are impossible too.

My dd is only five but I really worry about passing my anxieties onto her. She already has my physical genetic condition. My sister has bi-polar and so it obviously all runs in the family doesn't it?

I hope your dd feels better soon. I self harmed as a teen and young adult but have had no thoughts of doing it for years and I never had any help.

Sorry I'm rambling a bit

Ramble all you want :)

Yeah I think mental health does run in families. My cousin is bipolar, I'm anxiety as well as an aunt and two cousins. And now my daughter shows signs.
CAMHs were useless. They said she didn't meet their thing for help! The school actually pushed her to the front of the wait list to see the school councillor but I really don't see any improvement.
I'm feeling a little sad. The kittens are 8 weeks tomorrow and all go to their new homes so I will miss them :(

Oh no I bet that will be hard! Nothing like kittens to put a smile on your face.

My heart is racing this evening despite the propanolol and I don't know why I'm not thinking about anything
