Citalopram Advice

[Lastchancesaloon1891]

Im 2 years on from two painful pregnancy losses, both TFMRs and I'm really struggling to come to terms with our decision. I've kept my head above water (or buried it in the sand) ever since but in recent weeks I feel like I'm drowning in grief and guilt. I've reached out for therapy and support and it's been suggested I contact my GP to request Citalopram. I was prescribed fluoxetine earlier this year but lasted 3 days, then sertraline but only got to 7 days on them, I just felt so much worse.

If you've been prescribed them for grief or anything remotely similar to my situation, did they work for you? How do they make you feel initially?

Although I'm now 43, I'd like to consider trying for another baby and I've read Citalopram is safe in pregnancy. Although it's not ideal I'd at least like to try and get my head together before we try again.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’ve not been in the same situation but I take Citalopram and have done on and off for years. The thing is, they can often make you feel worse before you feel better, which is really crap, but unfortunately the only way to see if they work is to keep going with them.
They certainly won’t take away your pain, but they may help you feel slightly more stable and able to cope. I took them during two of my pregnancies and my kids are fine, but that’s a discussion to have with your family and GP.
I really hope things get better for you x
