Is Carobel prescription only?

My HV said I can buy some to try it out and then get it prescribed if it works but in Boots today I was told it’s prescription only? Is it possible to buy to over the counter or do I need to get it prescribed by my GP?

Sertraline

Do any of you mamas take sertraline? I took it prior to being pregnant for like a week and didn't like the way it made me feel. However, I'm nearly 5 months post partum and my anxiety and ocd is through the roof and it's starting to affect my relationships with friends and family.

Morning after pill

So.. husband and I had an incident tonight and we need a morning after pill….I’m curious what the side effects are. I’m scared to take it. I’m only 4 days from my period, so nothing is likely to come from this little hiccup, but we are being extra safe as this isn’t the right time for our family to grow.
