PND
So last Thursday my health visitor came to see me and after talking for half hour she said I really needed to see a Dr so my oh got me an appointment for later that day. I got diagnosed with post natal depression and put on sertraline(I think that's how you spell it) 50mg 1 a day. Since I've been on them I've have a headache every day and feel sick too.. anyone else on these tablets and feel the same? If yeah do the headaches and sickness go away?(if you had them too). Thankyou x
I was prescribed citalopram a couple of years ago.
I was warned I might feel nauseous or even be ill for the first couple of weeks, along with dizziness, headaches etc, then the initial side effects would subside. They lasted a week, I fainted in the shower, then after that I was fine.
I hope you start to feel better better soon!
Yes and that’s a normal side effect of them. Usually lasts 2-4 weeks.
I got them changed to citlopram which are the same family of drug but my body accepted them better. Now on another one as mine developed further and needs more.
Maybe have a word with the gp there’s lots of them they can try and not all suit all so you may be able to change and have one with less side effects
Xx
Thankyou for all the comments ladies! I've been on them for a week now and I don't feel as sick as I did when I first started them. Now I just need them to kick in and make me feel normal again!xx
