I have a 3 and half month old daughter.
Shes a happy and healthy baby.
I just wish I could say the same about
myself.
Well from the beginning. The delivery went
fine...there were some minor complications
moments afterwards with my daughter but
thingswere fine a few hrs later. I went
through aot of pain healing. They
mis-diagnosed me for 2 weeks that prlonged
the whole thing I ended up getting a bad
infection that spread through out my body.
I was unablpe to care for my daughter a
few times...but at the time I still felt
content with things..just sore and sick...
but I got over all of that.. and felt fine
and happy and thankful for such and
amazing child.
The past month and a half has been like a
slow down fall from all that happiness. It
first stared out with not being able to
sleep, then incrediably irritable, can't
eat. I just assumed baby blues.. thought I
should just wait for it too pass. Then
everything just crashed, I cant
concentrate on anything, I cant sleep, im
always exausted, my boyfriend cant talked
to me without me snapping for no reason
what so ever...there are days where I feel
so distant from my daughter and I loss all
interest in her, and other times i've
caught mself gettin snappy with her. I
totally lost intrest in sex and dont even
want to be touch.. I have no sense of
humor. .and im ALWAY nervous..i never want
to go out or have ppl over I just cant
handle being around then. I just feel so
far away from everyone. Now im no doctor
but ive read about PPD and Im pretty sure
thats what I am going though.
Im curious , for those going through or
ave been through PPD..What Meds do they
put you on and sideffects?? I really want
and need help and cant go anymore feeling
like this but I really want to know what
Im instore for with the medications. I
wish I could talk to therepist but thats
not an option I live in a very small town
and there are none here.

Medications... Posted: 02-18-08 18:52pm
I am currently on cymbalta, klonopin(for
anxiety),welbutrin, geoddon,zoloft(I'm
being weened off of it). I don't reallly
have any side effects but the meds aren't
really working. I'm a pretty difficult
case so I also have to have ECT. Most
women respond well with meds so you will
probably be fine.
