Anti-depressants

Hi, I'm female and recently started taking a low-dosage anti-depressant. A side effect I've gotten is that my period is late (haven't had sex so I know it's not that) and I was just wondering how long it has taken for your period to become regular again during taking anti-depressants

Re: Anti-depressants

Hi and welcome, @Caydi  🙂

 

My period did stop for 10 years, but that was due to severe emotional distress. I have had my period since then for 17 years on anti-depressants. 

 

I was actually glad that my period stopped for 10 years! 

 

If you are upset about it, could you maybe talk to your GP? 

 

An important forum tip is if you type @ and then click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will get a notification and won't miss your reply.
