    I'm on day 29 and I woke up today feeling panicky and heart racing. It's a daily thing. I don't feel like the increase is working. I'm scared and just want to feel normal again. 😔

    It can definitely be the pills. I had to get off of them because I had nearly every side effect but depression was definitely one of them.

      That was to you. Though the medicine did make me panicky and gave me a racing heart too! It works for a lot of people but I was not a fan.

      Jennifer I too was diagnosed with post natal and these tablets saved me .. Stick with it it took a good 5-6 weeks for me to feel like my old self and start enjoying being a mum again.

      Ah sorry, I read it too quickly. I agree with others, keep taking them and try to stick with it. They do take a good 4-6 weeks to work and sometimes even 8.

      Even after I've been on them for 18 yrs? Recently increased from 100-150 after my mother's death. Yesterday was four wks. I still feel heart racing and panick In the mornings.

      Not sure. You would need to speak with your GP, however with an increase your body would need to get 'used' to it again so I'd assume it would just be a bit of the side effects from what I've read on here. Hang in there!
