Hi,
I have a 2.5 yo child, I had a difficult first post-partum year (probably undiagnosed PND in hindsight) and an unhappy violent childhood. Back in November 2017(2 yo child then) things got on top of me and by February I started seeing a psychotherapist, by March I started seeing a psychiatrist on the recommendation of my therapist.
I have been diagnosed with Aggression OCD (My OCD makes me believe I will harm my child), I started Sertraline in April. I am also doing some CBT with the psychiatrist. I am very fortunate and privileged that we can afford to pay for all this care privately.
I am now on 100mg of Sertraline, I feel so much better, my anxiety and OCD are much more manageable. My only side effects have been more headaches, fatigue and I really miss eating grapefruit.
Husband and I would like another child, I think TTCing next summer would be great. I really don't want to TTC whilst on Sertraline, however safe everyone seems to say it is.
I'm thinking of weaning in March 2019 and TTC in June 2019 (I fall pregnant very easily).
Have any of you weaned off Sertraline and become pregnant? how did you cope? how long had you been on the meds?
Thank you
