help

i dont know where to start really....but this past weekend i became very exausted which made me depressed so my dr put me on lexapro for post partum...but i had a horrible reaction and had to go to the hospital...i have a huge problem with anxiety ever since this weekend bc i was suppose to start back at work.....my mom came over to help with the baby which i love with all my heart but lately i havent wanted to deal with her i have no want to pick her up or do anything for that matter...my mom says she wont leave till i get better but im scared..because this is the first time in 8 wks i havent wanted to deal with her...i dont know if im exhausted or whats wrong with me im scared has any one else gone thru this?

are you still taking the lexapro? and did they referr you to someone to talk to that specializes in ppd? If you had a bad reaction to the meds, ask them to put you on a different kind but whatever you do, stay on something. It's good to have your mom there to help you out during this time and know that you will start to feel better again, it may just take some time.
Good luck mama.

One of my best friends just went through that! All she did was feed and change her. Then put her down and cry. She was very upset and she got on medication for it, but if your allergic to it then isn't there another medication they can put you on? She went through this with both children, but she's fine now. Check into other meds

its not that im sad it just hit me all the sudden that i dont want to deal with my child....the thought of my mom leaving me and i have to do it alone scares me and my anxiety flares up...im going to go see a therapist asap but im scared of anti depressents bc me and my whole family had bad reactions...lexapro scared e so bad i was seeing colors and shadows...it was crazy...i dont think its ppd i think its exhaustion but who knows .... i want to be me again and take care of my baby.
