I definitelty have PPD. I've been in denial and tried to "fix" it by working out, DH taking all the night feedings, etc but I feel so unhappy. My OB asked if I wanted to try some medication today at my 6 week check up but I said no. I've been on anxiety meds before and had a really hard time coming off them. I'm scared to try them again. Will I need them forever??

    You may not need them long-term. I started on a low dose of Lexapro which really helped my anxiety. I slowly weaned with no issues. Don't let your past experience with meds scare you.

    you probably wont need them forever! even if you do, thats ok. this is out of your control. please dont let yourself suffer anymore and try the meds! im on zoloft and i really dont think id be here without it (dont want to think about that, though)
