So, having had a really awful few months with crippling anxiety, I took myself to the GP and accepted meds. Mirtazapine gave me horrific non stop diarrhoea, swapped to Citalapram, which left me suicidal after three weeks. Then, swapped to Sertraline. Started on 25mg, stayed there for two weeks, upped to 37.5mg, stayed there for a week. Then went to 50mg. Blimey! It was like back to square one. 50mg blew my head off, panic attacks, shakes, shivers, sweats, you name it, I had it. So, on Drs advice, back down to 25mg. After three days of hell and non stop crying, starting to calm down.
Will this dose be enough for me to get my life back?
Additionally, I’ve had my HRT increased also (just in case).
Im a mum of 3 and am desperately trying to get well!
Any words of wisdom gratefully received.
If you made it this far, thank you. 🙏
