New to the board :)

Hi there! I am so happy to see a PPD board on here!

My DS is almost 6mo old and until now I've tried to work on my PPD on my own...last week my GP gave me a referral to a psychiatrist to begin therapy.  I really hoping to get better without meds, but we will see

How are you ladies doing with meds and/or therapy?

Newbie on the board too.  I just started meds this week, and to be honest, I am still a mess.  Looking into starting therapy soon.  I have been started on Zoloft, and I may be seeing some side effects, namely insomnia, but I am not quite sure if it's me or the meds.

I wish you the best of luck with therapy, and I hope that we all feel better soon.

Welcome!  I found a lot of help with meds, but not therapy.  All my psychiatrist did was take me off my meds.  My best advice is find a therapist that you like.  I didn't and now I regret it.  I think I came off my meds too soon.  But, I've been off my meds for about 4 months and doing pretty well.  GL

Hi!  Meds have been my biggest helper.  Therapy has helped a little though.
