The side effects do tend to ease off quite quickly if the meds suit you. Mine gave me really bad heartburn (bizarre I know) for a few days and I had to take them at night cos they spaced me out. I found it was worth sticking it out for the relief of them finally kicking in :-)

I have now been on the antid's for a week. The horrible side effects have eased off. I do feel like my anxiety has eased off a bit. I don;t feel so horrible when I hear my son cry. Obviously it still isn't pleasant but I don't feel like I'm going to fall apart. I'm not sure if that is beacuse of the tablets or because I've stopped feeding him. It meant that we had a quite relaxed weekend. He is becoming more mobile and has started to explore the house which is keeping him occupied and in a much better mood. He did make me laugh this morning. He is still dragging himself around rather than crawling on his knees and he dragged himself out of his trousers. LOL. The tablets have taken away the constant exhaustion which I didn't even realise I had until it went and I remembered feeling awake and motivated. I am now decluttering the house so that it is more babyproof. I think that the more I get used to the tablets the more tired I'm feeling again so not sure that this level of motivation will last. Have been to councelling again too. Not quite sure what to make of that. It is very deep stuff to talk to a stranger about and although I can acknowledge how I feel and see where those feelings arise from I still don't seem to be able to change them. Also still going to couples councelling which is definatley making progress. I do feel closer to my husband again and our communication is much better. I think that with all of this my head is a bit full. I am finding it really hard today to work out how I'm feeling

Feeling quite panicky last night and today. Found it really hard to relax and get to sleep. Even though I had been in to check on my boy I was worried that something would happen to him. My mind was racing and making me think of how awful I would feel if i lost him. I feel like I'm punishing myself but can't do anything to stop it. I know my husband is getting a bit worried. I can't stop tidying and cleaning. I spend most of my day tidying out cupboards and organising things. When I stop I keep on thinking of more things I need to do and so I can never relax

GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!
That's the best advice I can think of for the weird panicky hyper days. Go and sit in the park or go swimming with the lo or just for a big long walk. I used to put the kids in the buggy and get on the train somewhere. It killed the day and although not strictly relaxing, it was at least better than manic cleaning and I felt very virtuous for doing something nice and outsdoorsy with the kids.
