Started Meds - Hoping it helps!

Hi Ladies.  I had my baby boy just over a month ago.  From the start I was having crying fits and feeling completely overwhelmed by everything.  I kept telling myself, "it's just the baby blues, it will pass."  I would say, "well maybe once he starts sleeping at night, or when I can start working out, or *insert another reason here* I'll start feeling better.  About a week ago, he was admitted to a local Childrens hospital for severe projectile vomiting and needed surgery for pyloric stenosis.  I think the stress of that whole situation finally pushed me to the point where I knew what I was feeling wasn't normal and I needed help.  I have been seeing a therapist for years now for anxiety and she recommended talking to my OB about meds to go along with the therapy.  My OB put me on Lexapro a few days ago.  I'm hoping that I start feeling better soon.  I was worried about the side effects from the medication, but I think I've hit the point where the benefits will outweigh the risks!  I just hope it gets better from here on out because i feel my sadness and anxiety is making me miss all the moments that I'm going to regret missing later on.

I started zoloft a few weeks ago, like you i was nervous about side effects but i'm feeling better mentally, actually could feel a difference in a few days.  i was anxious about pregnancy and was on ativan before but couldn't take it pregnant which also made me anxious , stopping a drug i was use to taking.  hope you feel better soon, i really don't have any side effects with this one.
