She also lost weight very quickly. The medication quickly caused her to enter a manic state and she was sleeping only three to four hours a night but didn’t feel tired, and at one point went 48 hours without sleep. The posts show that Lindsay Clancy’s troubles grew after she was prescribed the antidepressant Zoloft. She had been feeling anxious about returning to work as a labor and delivery nurse after having the couple’s third child.
Oddly, I don’t feel tired, but I know I need more sleep,” he added. Did you ever feel like you came close to acting on them? Or were they just thoughts? Patrick also expressed regret that Lindsay had gone on medication at all. She was eating well, sleeping great as usual, dancing at the wedding we went to and socializing. He added: “This happened with our previous two children and she was able to get through it fairly easy with some therapy and renewed coping skills. Was she overwhelmed with the kids? Definitely, but I believe we could have solved that by giving her more time to herself to decompress as we have in the past. Patrick’s email address was included in one of the posts, the same email later mentioned in Plymouth court by cell phone forensics expert Timothy Chiappini during testimony, as per the New York Post.
The post was shared seven weeks before Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, were killed. “At one point, I went 48 hours without sleeping. “For weeks I have been lucky to get 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. That post also mentioned Lindsay had lost 15 pounds within a couple of weeks, bringing her weight to 115 pounds, which the New York Post noted is a common sign of mania. By December 9, Patrick asked: “Has your [medication] experience ever involved thoughts of hurting others, including loved ones?
“After a week of taking Zoloft, I developed severe insomnia,” he wrote in another post while describing Lindsay’s experience. In a December 6, 2022 post titled “I need another perspective,” he wrote: “I can’t stress enough that her anxiety was very mild going into this.
Lindsay’s hospital treatment before the killings
His new wife, Rachel Danis , confirmed that the couple, who got married in April, are starting a family . On December 20, she was turned away from a postpartum program in Rhode Island. She was later admitted to McLean Hospital from December 30 to January 5, according to testimony from her psychiatrists. She is due back in court on September 29, when prosecutors will likely reveal whether they plan to retry her case, downgrade the charges, offer a plea deal, or drop the case altogether.
Patrick has since remarried. At trial, eleven jurors agreed that Lindsay was not guilty by reason of insanity, but one holdout believed she was guilty of murder. Lindsay is currently receiving psychiatric treatment at Tewksbury State Hospital.
The case ended in a mistrial earlier this month.
