Question

Two months after giving birth, I suddenly lost interest in everything, with blurred vision. After a detailed examination at Changchun Jilin University First Hospital, I took Baishike to alleviate anxiety. Once, I woke up suddenly at night, my heart rate accelerated, and I sweated a lot. Now, on the tenth day of taking medication, there has been occasional improvement since the sixth day, but today I experienced palpitations and restlessness. I don’t know if this is a side effect of the medication or a sign of the condition improving. On the first day, I took one tablet, on the third day two tablets, on the fifth day three tablets, and then maintained three tablets. Is Baishike not suitable for me? Have I increased the dosage too quickly?
