Hi Clarey
I hope this is just a blip for you and you are back on form soon. However, if you do end up having to go back on the meds dont feel bad about it, it wont be for ever and it is more important that you feel well now.
I hope today is better for you x

I do seem to be feeling better than I did and so I feel that it must have been a blip of some description?
The prozac certainly was helping me with my general mood and now I do have to stay focussed on being calm and as stress-free as possible. My sons 2nd birthday party I found very stressful and there were a couple of times that I felt a panic attack coming on but I just tried to breath through it.
I have found that alcohol gives me palpitations. After I have a few drinks I wake continually in the night with palpitations. This never happened to me pre-PNI ever. I wonder if this will ever go?

I wonder whether its the alcohol mixing with the prozac that is making you have these palputations? I know alcohol didnt agree too much with me when I was on the prozac.
Glad you are feeling better than you did, and are trying to look after yourself x

I thought it might have been that too Winegirl, but I have been off the meds completely for a month now. So I am bemused to this weird effect?
I haven't felt too well today. I have had a horrid pain on the right-hand side of my back, kidney area, and an upset tummy. I took my son to his toddler group but just had to spend most of the time sitting watching. I also felt so sick. Perhaps just a tummy bug or something.

Hi clarey#
Could be withdrawal coming off the meds? They say you can feel a bit poorly in the weeks after coming off it?
I hope you feel better today hun x

Clarey,
It took me about a month to get the meds out of my system completely, mind you even afterwards I continued to have blips for a while even though they were less intense. Sounds like you have been under a bit of stress lately, what with the birthday party and your parents attitude towards your OH, so it's understandable the anxiety has reared it's ugly head a bit. I think it will ease off hun and you'll be back to yourself once things have settled down.
As for the upset tummy, I think tummy bugs are going around, a lot of the kids in my sons school have them, or colds..
Here's wishing you a lovely weekend
Scarlet X

Hi Clarey My GP said that if you have bad anxiety, mixing alcohol into the equation can lead to really bad night panics - unfortunately I have to be careful toox

Thanks everyone for your kind posts. I am feeling rotten today I have no tolerance and feel utterly miserable. I think this is tying in with my monthly cycle and without the meds I am finding this all soooo hard. Where has the positive, kind person gone? I hate myself like this.. I really hate feeling like this. I know the way forward is to see my gp but I don't want to admit defeat. It is going to be my undoing but I am desperate not to go back on meds. I woke up this morning and just knew I wasn't myself. I feel it is hormonally-linked and so for 2 weeks or so out of the month I am fine it is just this build up which is when I start dipping. I did have this to a lesser extent on meds but now it feels much much worse and uncontrollable. At times I don't know what to do with myself I am pacing around but don't seem to be able to do anything. I know the worst part of my PNI has gone but I am left with this awful PMT which is a nightmare. I never had this before having PNI. I am still lactating slightly and I haven't fed my son now for a year. I find I am only lactating just before I feel like this. I think my prolactin levels aren't right. Aggh I really feel I am offloading here. I also find my OH just makes me worse. I am sure at times he tries to make me worse. As soon as I say I am not feeling too good a switch goes on and I feel he does everything to make me worse. I hope this passes soon.

Know exactly what you mean here Clarey,
When I came off the meds last December, my psych gave me a prescription for a herbal remedy to take in it's place. Is there something you could take?, even if it was perhaps just for the PMT.
Thinking of you
Hugs

Hi Clarey
There are some antid's you can just take at that time of the monthas they are specifically linked to treating PMT. You should def go pack to the GP and se what she/he says.
Sorry you are in a bit of a dip right now hun, hope you get back out of it really soon x

Started my period today. My OH and I have been trying for our second. I conceived first time with my son but I seem to be having trouble this time. I know I am still having a bit of a rough time but I really want another child and now I am off the meds I want to give it my best shot. I am convinced I have a hormone imbalance which either aggravated my PNI or caused it and now it is giving me problems with getting pregnant again.

Hi Clarey
These things can take time hun. Took us two years of trying (although I have PCOS so was lucky to concive at all). But while i was looking into fertility treatment i found it takes the average couple 6 months to a year to conceive! My only suggestion is have lots of sex! Also i used to take m basal body temperature to know when i was ovulating and that helped too x
Good luck hun xx

Thanks Winegirl,
I went to see not my gp but another who thinks I have a problem with my progesterone (I had thought this anyway) and am not having the progesterone boost.
I have had a rough day today and am not myself. I took my son to the playgroup but just felt uneasy the whole time. My OH is so unsympathetic and insensitive to my situation. Sometimes I hate him and am convinced he prefers me when I am not well as he can get his own way all the time. He has been cruel before and says things like oh you need to take some of your pills. It isn't helpful...
I did do a bit of gardening this afternoon which made me feel a bit better.

Things are ok at the moment. I am enjoying my better time of the month at the moment I have started on some Agnus castus to try and help regulate my hormones and some zinc to keep the depression at bay. It's worth a try.
