Feels like its starting over

totallyshocked

So the last week my depression and anxiety have been creeping back up. Im still on my meds but have just a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach and feel no appetite but my tummy grumbles. I still force myself to eat a meal or two atleast. Im almost a month into prozac and am wondering if maybe my body is just starting to adjust this week? Am I about to get my first period again?> Or is it just a bad week. I have just been feeling sssooooo  much better that now Im scared crazy thinking this is all going to happen again and I just want to be a happy mommy.

 

Someone please tell me that there are good weeks and bad and that I just have to be patient. Just need some reassurance that things are going to get better and stay that way.

Hi. You will definitely have good weeks and bad. No pill can make you feel wondeful all the time. It sounds like maybe you are PMSing? I get depressed when I have PMS and that is the one time of month that I still feel sad and a bit depressed. I am on prozac too. I try to exercise every day and that in combo with the prozac is usually enough. Hope you feel better honey!

Thanks for your reply. Its kinda ironic because I told me boyfriend that if he doesnt see me doing cardio or my post natal video by tomorrow afternoon he has permission to yell at me. I know exercise Is so great for depression and anxiety its just hard to get started. I had a c section too so I was just cleared to work out 2 days ago.

I'm on Zoloft, but I noticed that about a month after I started taking my meds I felt like they weren't helping as much.  I called my OB and she upped my dose and have felt great since then.  Maybe you just need to have your dose increased.

 I still have good and bad days now, but it's not bad weeks.  Hope you feel better soon!

for me it took about 5-6 weeks for the prozac to kick in.  I think I was on 20mg, but it was 2 years ago so I don't really remember.

I hope you start to feel better soon.  PPD sucked so bad for me & I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
