I been having a horrible year I was prescribed Sentraline in May/2020 at the ER because I was having a mental breakdown due to having too many miscarriages in Sep/2019, Jan/2019 and May 2020. I was prescribed Sentraline 50mg. to help me cope with all my losses but it did not work. I took it for 7 weeks and was not getting any better I was getting every side effect and even side effects that are unknown. I feel so alone. I gone to the Emergency Rooms like 10 times because of all the pain that I'm going through. It has been 4 months since I tappered off and I just feel like I am going to die early in life and not see my son grow up and grand kids. My husband doesn't know how to help me. I feel like I now have a disability I have been to 3 primary nurses and they do not care brush me off because I'm 30 and they believe it can't happen to me for being that age. One kepted lying to me and wouldn't send me medication because she had said my vitamin d was low. My 1st test was 16, then 26 and last test was a 32. I don't know what to do. I had a slipped hip when I was 10 years old so I feel like something similar could be happening to me so I saw a orthopedic and she was so rude and told me to lose weight and got angry when I asked about vitamin d deficiancy she ignored me. My OBGYN ran so many test and everything comes back normal. I just do not understand what is happening to my body anymore. I also had a therapist go off on me for canceling due to that fact that I couldn't attend because the side effects got worst. I feel like I'm not allowed to say anything no Doctor or Nurse wants to deal with me. I feel so sad because this is happening to me. I don't know if there is much hope for me. I live in Dayton, Ohio and I do not know where to turn for anymore support.

My daily symptoms for the last 4 months have been horrible. This are the symptoms:

I can't walk it's so painful if I walk, I'm bed bound now.

My brain feels like my nerves bounce off balance if I walk and my bones crack.

If I try to walk my hips tighten up and ankles hurt so bad my muscles can't carry me.

My joints ache and crack with any movement I make in my ( legs, back, arms, spine,shoulders)

My knees pull on there own on and off through out the day.

Mu muscles got so tight that my left buttocks ripped off.

My muscles burn so much ad are so sore and hurt.

My ankles are swollen retaining water.

My head tightens up and burns.

Restless legs and jerkiness

Chest tightens up and it gets very difficult to breathe.

My joints feel like the prick like if I had osteoporosis.

I have brain zaps feeling like snakes crawl in my head, electrical zig zags, pinches feeling.

Painful electrical jolts through my body.

Difficulty sleeping.

Did you taper off gradually? This is important if you stopped cold turkey maybe you should have a teeny bit of sertraline and wean yourself of it gradually

Inositol is a very safe suppliment which I think could help you with your nerves check it out

Hello Hope

You have put your body through a great strain with all the miscarriages and that will make you fragile and it may take some time for you to settle down.

You have not explained why you had so many miscarriages, could these be caused by trying to go through so many pregnancies. If this is the case your body may be lacking in certain vits and you have been worn down by these experiences So little time between each attempted births.

You need if possible to talk to your Doctor and see if He can arrange CBT to talk out why you attempted so many births and cessations in such a short time. Where you not informed of the possible risks you were putting yourself through. It seems strange they are not wishing to help you

D3 and B12 will assist in the strengthening of your bones and joints and help in some ways also your immunity D3 is called a sunshine drug.

So many attempted births may have also effected your calcium levels, so You need advice to build yourself up after the strain on your body,

I am no Doctor and therefore you need to be built back up from the strain of your losses.

Personally however I feel you need to give your body time to recove, so you may need to see Family Planning or Doctors who work in births and maternity
