Quoting SUGAPiEHUNNiEBuN:“ Yea, I am currently trying to switch to lexapro since I am having problems with zoloft. Do you have any issues with is?”

Sorry I didn't reply I didn't see your question. With the Lexapro I dont have any negative reactions. But when I stopped taking I got some weird feeling like I am walking faster than i am then and then it feels like I am going slower than I am.

wow I'm glad someone finally responded to this post! I have suffered from PPD after the birth of each of my three children. Each time it has gotten worse. I am on Effexor 112.5 mg twice a day. I know some of you were wondering what medications are safe for bfing. A lot of times the doctors will decide based on the benefits and risks associated w/ the medication. Medications do pass thru the breastmilk, but depending on the medication your doctor may decide that the benefits to you outweigh the risks to the infant. We have to remember that most of these meds aren't tested on pregnant or lactating women. They're tested on lab rats and given 100 times the recommended dosage for that of an adult. Yeah its gonna give that damned rat defects lol. As long as your phsysican knows that you are breastfeeding, you shouldn't worry about the meds he/she prescribes to you.
I really think that if more women came out and talked about the problems they have after the births of their children it wouldn't be so horrible to talk about. I remember feeling so guilty about the way I felt after the birth of my oldest son. While I felt horrible and soooo sad all the time, all of my friends talked about how perfect they felt and how perfect their babies were. It wasn't until after I had my second son, that I found out all my friends who felt perfect and had perfect babies, really felt like crap and all there babies cried uncontrolably and didn't sleep thru the night lol. It helped me a lot to know that I wasn't the only one who felt like a bad mom because I let my baby cry for 10 minutes so I could take a shower!

I was diagnosed officially this evening. I took my first Zoloft tonight...so far, the only side effect I've had? I just woke up, I'm kinda hungry...and I don't feel like eating. I will be ecstatic with joy if this continues.
However, my MIL called tonight. I told her about my doc visit, and her response? "Oh, it's not PPD- you only get that within a few weeks of the birth!"...*sigh*...I declined to go over to see them with Jay because I didn't feel like hearing about how this is "all in my head" (well, duh, of course it is), and how I don't need medication. I'm sorry, I don't WANT to be on zoloft, but if it's going to make me want to take care of my kids and make me feel human again, then I need it.

At first i thought it might just be the 'baby blues' or even just stress but im starting to think that i may have PPD. My boyfriend has been telling me to go to the doctor and talk to him about it- i just tell him it's stress. I don't want to admit to him or myself for that matter that i may have PPD.

I feel like a horrible mother and person.
