Wondering if I need to get back on my anti-depressents

bellabear87

So I had been on anti-depressents on and of since I as 15 years old. Mainly for just depression, horrible mood swings, etc. I got pregant and they told me I had to get off of them. Pregnancy was fine without them. Now 4 months pp I am feeling a lot overwhelmed and very down all the time. Me and DH fight constantly, I have horrible mood swings again. It doesnt seem that anything makes me happy. I get very frustrated with DS especially at bed time... I ust feel I am not sane right now.

I was on Lexapro before getting pregant...

I am EBT so would need something that would work with that...

Should I talk to my OB or my reg. Dr?

I hope that if I get back on it will help me alot...

This pretty much sums up what I feel everyday...

You feel overwhelmed.  Not like "hey, this new mom thing is hard."  More like "I can't do this and I'm never going to be able to do this."  You feel like you just can't handle being a mother.  In fact, you may be wondering whether you should have become a mother in the first place.

I felt like you do now & when DD was 5 months old I saw my OB about it.  I was put on Lexapro & it helped a ton.  Talk to your Dr.  it can't hurt, only help. GL

My OB put me on Lexapro after my son was born and it was like night and day. It was a miracle for my PPD. 

 Did you mean to type EBF? As in you are breastfeeding? If so I nursed my son for 14 months on Lexapro with no problems. GL!
