It has been over 4 months since my overdose, and I still have episodes of tachycardia that cause me to collapse. I have also developed regurgitation at the mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonic valves of my heart. I cannot stand for more than 15 minutes without becoming overheated & faint, and my heart rate has spiked as high as 184 just from simply standing. I have constant severe full body tremors. I can't feel them, so it's hard to describe, but I can't hold cups without a lid because my hands shake so badly. My cognitive function has also been impaired. Describing things out loud has been extremely difficult. I lose what I'm saying in the middle of sentences. I'm polylingual, and I've lost a lot of my ability to move between languages. It also takes me a lot longer to read, do math, and problem solve. My underlying health conditions have also become worse. I have more frequent migraines & my chronic pain is worse. My balance is also terrible now. I can barely stand up straight even though I was a dancer for 12 years
When I was still in the hospital, I lost complete control of my limbs for the first few days too. My feet would "dance" even though I couldn't feel them. For the first day, I couldn't swallow at all & it hurt to eat for the first month bc throwing up the sertraline caused acid burns in my mouth & throat. Food still doesn't taste the same. I also had stomach ulcers & felt like I struggled to breathe for the first couple weeks
