I've not heard of half of those! I'm glad they're working for you though. Anxiety sucks actual dick.

That's weird cause my dr said I can take it while Bfing. :s

really? they wouldn't let me NEAR it. I actually asked for it. She said "you WILL have to stop breastfeeding" ... and that was after they prescribed me freaking class D xanax  
luckily zoloft did the trick for me.. but it would have been nice to have the energy

They don't help like they're supposed to. I still can't leave the house except to therapy once a week. But they do take the edge off which I'm thankful for

So far it's ok. It's help me not be so bad. I still get sad and it has not given me the energy I was told it would. But I'm On the lowest dose cause I'm preg. Maybe if I upped my dose. But I just don't want to right now. I am having a preemie so I might wean before I have her to avoid the risk of seizures since I know preemies are more prone to them. But I'm gonna ask the neonatologist to be certain.

It works diff for everyone. That is pricey. Idk what I'm
Gonna do when I lose my insurance next yr   I am afraidnd being dependent on a drug cause I know I wont be able to afford them. But on the other hand I need them

that's the worst feeling ever mama i'm so sorry

I have a tendency to get anxiety.

That's why I ran 3 miles a few times a week.

It helps.....a lot

I love Wellbutrin... it does give you the energy you need. It didn't make my anxiety as bad as I thought it would, but I take mine with a mood stabilizer and antipsychotic

Hmmm. Maybe it's diff cause I'm on it While preg so it's already gonna be in baby's system? They wouldn't want to have her withdrawal from it so it's probably safer to keep taking it.

Wtf. I want the energy it's supposed to give

idk but if my ppd comes back i'm gonna bring it up again bc i'd like to stay away from SSRI's ... I had the most smurfed up withdrawal EVER from zoloft.

I had zoloft with dd1 and it was fine. I stopped at 2 weeks pp and never ha any issues. I was offered that or Wellbutrin this time and I went with Wellbutrin cause it was "supposed" to give me more energy which I am lacking majorly. By apparently not  

Honestly the ONLY thing that helped me was Prozac. Im the same way as far as having 20% depression & 80% anxiety. People that have known me all of my life were SHOCKED @ how much i changed. I feel like i have a new chance to live a happy, peaceful life!
