Zoloft issues...

in Postpartum Depression

Is there another option besides Zoloft? I can't handle the side effects, but I don't think I'm ready to quit taking it. I'm trying to wean myself off it and its a nightmare.

I don't know who to call. I don't have a GP, and I'm not sure if I should be calling my OB almost 8 months after having my baby.

I'm not doing well.

    I would call your normal doc. My midwife also put me on zoloft and it didnt work...... then I had a horrible weekend and called me practitioners on call service and they called me in Celexa that day. I swear within 2-3 days I felt so much more in control. Its good that u have zoloft in ur system already because if you choose to change meds you wont feel the effects of starting an antideppresant. If your that bad I would also ask about an anti anxiety med like clonazepam that you can take as needed. I take it at night to help me sleep or when I start to feel jumpy. Good luck. Message me if u have any questions or if I can help at all

    sorry- I was still typing when I hit enter.

    I would call whoever prescribed it for you.  My OB did my RX.  He also said he would refer me to a psych when my original RX ran out for longer term care.  Maybe yours will do the same?

    PPD can present even up to a year after delivery, so don't worry too much about calling your OB.

    Good luck!

    I'm on Zoloft and I'm 31 weeks pregnant and I think it has done wonders for me. I've never had a past of depression, this was definitely pregnancy induced. Even though the doctor says its safe to take during pregnancy and breast feeding but I still seem to freak out about it and feel bad that I'm putting my little one through all this stress and meds. I really hope that she's okay in there and won't have any side effects when she's born.

    Know that Zoloft and SSRI antidepressants have been repeatedly blamed for causing severe side effects to its patients. Reports from the complainants contain these side effects: birth defects to newborns, physical pain, sexual dysfunction, psychosis, delusion, hallucination, memory loss, sleeping problems, eating disorders, abnormal personality changes, unusual mood shifts, irritability, hostility, self-harm and other acts of violence.
