    I'm on day 2 and exactly the same. Mostly down but short periods of feeling human. I feel agitated and restless, yet lathargic and unable to do anything. Very anxious. Guilty. My teeth are permanantly clenched and everything tastes like cardboard.

    I think it's the meds, not your pregnancy. Though I'm sure the hormones play a part. From what advice I've seen you need to give it a good 4 weeks at least to know if it's working. Good luck xx

      I've been on it 5 weeks and I've taken it before and it worked for me. That's why I'm confused if it's not going to work this time or if it's the pregnancy. I've heard ppl say that it could take 3 months sad

      I don't know, I'm sorry. Could be a mixture of both. I think everyone's different - it could be taking longer to get into your system properly this time round. How long did it take to work last time? How long did you feel 'normal' for? I feel like I'll never be the same again...

      Last time I took it for 4 weeks and it snapped me out of it. I took the meds only 2 months and then stopped. I've been good for 2 years until another miscarriage and now I'm 100x worse and feel like nothing will ever help again. It worked amazing last time! I just pray it would work the same this time.

      That's great. I mean, that it worked so quickly last time. I'm sure it will work again - try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Talk to your doctor about how you're feeling, maybe you need something extra for anxiety too xx
