I have been on sertraline for depression and anxiety for 4 years, it worked. Recently however my anxiety has gone through the roof.
My family of origin is abroad and I’m here in the U.K. alone, with DH working 3 hours away (our jobs can’t be moved, although he WFH 2 days a week) and a SEN DS whom I’m waiting an EHCP decision for.
Since the start of the recent world events my heart is constantly racing and when not distracted by DS or a work meeting I tend to hyperventilate unless focusing on breathing.
Got a txt yesterday by the practice about my meds review being overdue (not surprisingly!) and to book one by calling 8 am today.
I dread to be asked to start weaning myself off (I can’t- if I skip one by accident my mood changes dramatically in half a day) but on the other hand I feel I need to discuss this panicky feeling, it’s exhausting. WWYD?
