Ive been in your shoes babe.
I know how tough it can be, and you will overcome it! I promise you!

Quoting emily amazing:“ i just got a PS for it but someone told me that it makes you gain weight and that is why i'm depressed ... [snip!] ... in the first place so why would i take it?! im depressed about my PP body, not being a mom. did anyone gain weight from it?”

Nope. I did not gain any weight.

i was given it after having my son oran for ppd I took it for one day made me feel weird as hell and i figured i could deal on my own and i did. i hate not being in control of myself and with the pills i yawned like crazy but it was a cold chills up your spine yawn and my teeth felt clutched and grinding i was sleepy yet very awake... it was weeeirddd!!!

i think i might try it, but im nervous about taking pills. but i feel you, everynight ive been crying myself to sleep because of a bunch of stupid crap. it sucks so bad! i just want to be myself again without all the water works.  i know everyone has to get tired of seeing me cry, hell they seen it enough when i was pregnant.

It made me lose weight.

Quoting Jordan.:“ It made me lose weight.”

people have been telling me mixed things about it. i guess all i can do is try it out to find out myself. my grandma said she gained weight from taking it, but shes also 65 and got on it a year ago. so idk.

I am on Zoloft. It has helped me tremendously in becoming a better caregiver for my daughter. I have been on it for almost 2.5 months now. I stopped taking it for a week because I didn't have money to refill my prescription and I felt my depression coming back. So I still need it. But some need it longer than others. Good luck!

I know the feeling. I cry about everything. Whether I should be upset about it or not. I'm filling the script tomorrow... hopefully I have good experiences with it.

haha, when i first got out of the hospital the first thing i cried about was my body and the marks all over it. then 2 seconds later i started to cry because there wasnt any tea. its absolutely ridiculous, i feel your pain. then i cried because the baby wouldnt take my boob to BF, because i had a c-section and he got a bottle for the first thing to eat. it was horrible. =( still is...

It will just depend on your body chemistry. You may take to it, you may need something else.

I know, I was severely depressed when I was 16 or 17 to the point I tried to kill myself, and I would have had my Dad not found me on my bathroom floor... they put me on meds and I never found one that worked (but I was never on Zoloft because they thought I needed something way stronger). I guess I'll just have to wait and see.  

Quoting MissLissa♥:“ It had to be something else.. There is NO way that one days dose could make you instantly happy. Lets be realistic here.”

No, I didn't mean it started working the first day.
It just made me feel all uppity.
I was in the hospital when I took it for the first time, and then told me it was normal for the first time taking them.
I think it was probably because I had never taken a pill before in my life, besides like tylenol. And it just made me feel weird.
