wanting to vomit when stressed

Im 28 years old and my husband and are talking about having our first baby. I got off Zoloft as my dr.advised me to since Im not comfortable with taking it during a pregnancy. We're not trying just yet for a baby but since Ive been off my Zoloft Ive been so stressed.. I want to induce vomiting to help me feel better. My sex drive is up since I stopped the Zoloft and intimacy relieves stress for me but when we cant have sex I feel like I need something else to turn to. Ugh. I hate to have to post stuff like this but sometimes you just need help !

I can completely relate. I used to have to throw up before any social event. It was completely involuntary. If I was going out to do something social like a concert or going out to dinner, my stomach would get upset, I'd throw up, but then I'd feel a lot better and was ready to go. Since then, my anxiety medication has leveled that out. I still get nervous, but don't need to get sick anymore.

I would recommend counseling to help you deal with your anxiety. It's common to have a sick stomach when you have anxiety because of excess stomach acid. Ask your Dr if it's safe for you to take something for this before and during your pregnancy.
