Anxiety feels like it's getting worse..

Hi everyone! I am a mum of one LG of 3 years old with a lovely partner and pregnant (14 weeks). I have always suffered with anxiety but had it under control with 40mg of Citalopram. When I fell pregnant anxiety seriously kicked in and the GP changed me into Sertraline building me up to 150mg. I wish they never changed it but they said it was safer! Since I've been on it I feel my anxiety really kicking in (prob hormones too) and it's impacting me more then ever! I struggled in my first pregnancy but stayed on citalopram! As soon as my baby arrived the anxiety halved straight away....but this time it's sooooo much worse! What happens if it doesn't go? I can't carry on like this...it doesn't help I feel so sick and tired! I think the anxiety is making me physically vomit rather then the pregnancy! I just can't seem to get control of it and feel the sertraline isn't having the same impact as the citalopram did!

Will I feel like this forever? Will it go again like last time? what shall I do! I can't take this feeling any more!!!!!

Give the sertraline time. You haven't been on it long. You need to discuss this with your doctor. Because you are pregnant you can't be sure whether that or the meds are causing your symptoms.
