Sertraline help!! Intrusive thoughts and horrible anxiety
Posted , 2 users are following.
hi, i have been on sertraline on and off for for 13 years, i first went on them for postnatal depression/anxiety after having my twins. I then devoloped tge same thing with my other 2 children and then again after a while being off. 5 and a half years ago i got very ill and eent back on 50mg and have been on them since, anyway 5 weeks ago i found out my partner of 10 years and father of 2 of my 4 children has been abusing my 13 year old daughter. My anxiety and intrusive thoughts came back with a bang, my doc upped me to 75mg and i experienced start up side effects horribly. After around 4 weeks i had some improvement but was still suffering so the doctor upped me to 100mg, the first 5 days i felt ok actually had alot of improvement but last night and today i have felt awful. Over tge last week though i have noticed i my head twitches when im falling asleep and also a couple of nights ive had complete body jolts too. Im really disheartened now as i thought i was getting there and could see liggt at the end of the tunnel. Now i just feel awful again, horrible anxiety and a funny feeling in one of my ears along with a fizzing sound which ive googled all night and convinced myself im going to have it forever. I'm a mess again and i feel so lost. Any advice would be hugely helpful. I just want to be a mum again to my children and feel lije im letting them down. Im terrified this is me now and i am trying to tell myself this is normal but im still so scared! please help! thankyou
