Thought I'd up my fluoxetine journey at nearly 8wks taken for anxiety and antenatal depression which just come on from no where (had pnd 5yrs ago)
I saw improvements after 9days
Side effects where not too good from 2-6weeks.
At 7 weeks I was getting better but I still have:
A dream/dazed feeling which I find the worse part! I had this before meds too at a higher level.
Can't sleep at all.
Night sweats.
Headaches but less often.
Dry mouth.
Mood is better I can handle the illness with out crying and giving in but its still not nice been dazed all day but unable to sleep. my baby is been born by section this Tuesday ( 3days away) so hoping I'll feel better after this.
wow baby is'nt far away now! do'nt call her David will you because she will grow up with a complex haha This side effect thing is really soul destroying at times is'nt it? I had two pretty good days then today my head is in that dreamy dazed place again for whatever reason, this morning I found myself stood in a room totally confused as to why I was there, I stood a couple of minutes before snapping back to reality. My headaches are less often thank god as I had them relentlessly day in day out at one stage. I have'nt got your sleep problem, quite the opposite, I could sleep just about anytime! Do hope that things turn out well after babies born Rachel and you feel better, best wishes (((hug))) David x
Ow I get the confused where am I what was I doing. I think my brain is giving off energy but my body is worn out. I could feel like this due to pregnancy I suppose. Its this dazed feeling that needs to bugger off. Sounds like ur really improving now though David!
Your time scale and symptoms are almost identical to my daughters. She started to improve from day 9, and not sleeping and sweats have been the worst thing along with the shakes. Only thing she hasn't had is the fuzzy head.
Oooooo won't be long now before baby arrives for a cuddle, I hope they explained the spinal/epidural , if your having it, can make your teeth chatter, that's normal, and it isn't the flu tablets doing it.
Keep smiling sweetheart, your lovely journey is just beginning. Xx
Your sleep pattern should get better, it could just be because of the pregnancy. Same for the dream/dazed effect ....... all the side effects wore off for me. Sleep like a log now.
Come to think of it I do get night sweats ....... strangely wakes me up the same time about 4am every morning for about 5 mins. Thought it was my age ...... yay oh yay maybe it's not then!
Hope youve managed to get some sleep and that your good mood has continued?
You must be getting excited for tomorrow now, just wanted to wish you all the best for your new arrival! With a bit of luck some of the symptoms/side effects will get better after the birth too, ill keep my fingers crossed for you.
Look forward to hearing the good news! Take care, will be thinking of you :-) big hugs xx
Mine change on there own to real smilies. Thanks guys. I don't think she'll be too happy with david as a name but I have often worried she might end up been a boy x
