Hi
How is everyone during this Covid 19 madness! I hope some one can shed abit of light over Certraline. I'm really wanting to know if you experienced horrible side effects before they kicked in and made you feel like you again? My little one is 7.5yrs old and I'm ashamed to say I've been struggling and trying to deal with PND for all this time 😢 I've tried counselling therapies which was lovely and so positive while in the therapy room but once away from the therapy room I found it tough. My mental health has ruined job opportunities because I just struggle to be motivated and feel useless due to the foggy feeling (I used to work full-time in a solicitors call centre, a full on mentally focused job, I'd struggle now for sure) I started college in January, a Counselling course, which for obvious reasons I really wanted to persue. I just could not interact within the class how I wanted to my my brain just will not work. And all this put my relationship with my sons dad under immense pressure, financially mainly. I want to correct everything and put it right. I want to feel more me again, I miss me. I'm worried I've left it too long for medication to work. If someone offered me a 'magic pill' to clear all this fogg, I'd take it. Sorry if I've waffled on 😊

Hey, hugs. I think many people have side effects on this sort of medication and they definitely take a few weeks to work. If it's been several weeks though, it's fine to ask your GP if you should keep on with this one, or try a different one. There are a few similar drugs and some will work better than others for each person. Definitely don't give up hope, and don't be ashamed!
