A few weeks ago I noticed I was running low on happy pills. after a whole week of trying to get through to the prescription line I decided I would go in on my next day off. As any mummy knows planned things never go how you wanted and I ended up forgetting.
One night I went to take my happy pill and realised I was all out so planned to nip in as soon as I could to get some more. A few weeks passed with me constantly forgetting ( can I still say baby brains the reason 17months on????) I was still feeling up beat and positive so looked into maybe a herbal tablet. I decided to try evening primrose from the health food shop they seemed to be working so I stuck with them.
Over the weekend I felt a bit weepy, I just put It down to being a bit tired. Than last night I couldn't concentrate properly. Than out of nowhere I burst into tears for no reason scaring poor daddy to death because we had just finished laughing about something together.
After that I though maybe its too soon for me to come of the happy pills and especially with out seeking medical advise and going as they say cold turkey. So I'm going to the doctors today. I'm so frightened I'll go back to how I was. I'm not 100% sure if how I've been feeling the last few days is the start or I'm am just tired but I don't want to take any chances. I need to do the right thing for me and my family and coming off the pills was not my smartest move. Another life lesson learnt!!!
I have so much I'm happy about at the moment and so many things to get me motivated I don't want to slip back not even a millimetre. Onwards and upwards i WIll beat this.
That's my confession, I don't encourage anyone taking the decisions regarding prescribed medication into there own hands. Always seek medical advise before hand, trust me this I the 2nd time I've done this and luckily I've realised I was wrong now before it could have turned out like last time.
