Sertraline when pregnant

Ok so I havent take my 150mg sertraline in at least 3 weeks. Last time I took it had been the first time in a week, I had taken it with Cyclazine Hydrochloride (anti-sickness tablets) and I was violently sick all day.
So I've taken only 50mg's today to start back up again, and I'm being sick again, I have the shakes and just feel so weak.
Has this happened to anyone else?
My doctor advised me last week to start taking it again as I "need" it.
Should I call doctors? 111? I'm a little scared of my reaction right now.

**I'm 9 weeks, 5 days.

I was asking sertraline 50mg and when I told my Doc I was pregnant she advised I stop immediately as it might not be safe for pregnancy and the baby could start relying on them too, she didn't even ween me off them or lower the dose she just said stop taking them. I'd get a second opinion on weather or not you REALLY need to be taking them. When I came off them I had the shakes, blurred vision, headache and just felt fed up but I'm absolutely fine now and haven't taken them since. Ring your doc and speak to your midwife and see what they say x

And the flipside to that is being prescribed 50mg of sertraline during pregnancy which is what has happened to me. I felt I had hit rock bottom and there wasn't another option OP, but if you are questioning if you need them... Then perhaps you have a better grip on your mental health at the moment than I did. Speak to your doctor!

Also, may sound obvious but were you taking them with a full stomach? That could help. And the first 12 weeks are the worst for feeling totally rubbish and sick. Didn't take much to set me off vomiting at the beginning!
