Postpartum Depression

Natural cures?

Im pretty positive i suffer from depression. Im also not a fan of pills. Im really scared of side effects....but jealous of the posts that say i finally feel normal again :(

Is their a natural cure?? Herbal vitamins?

Re: Natural cures?

  • There are some supplements you can take. Unfortunately I can't find my list of them right now. You do have to be careful with some of them though if you are nursing!  For me I have luckily been able to find outlets that have helped that are not meds. GL
  • My natural treatment of depression is sleep. Somehow it helps clear my mind though it is not eat to get a good sleep while we are experiencing depression. All I do is to overwork myself just to get sleep, then after I wake up, somehow I feel better and the feeling of depression is somehow treated but not totally treated.

  • I went to my OB and she was quick to throw a prescription to zoloft at me. I took things into my own hands and I am now getting acupuncture once a week and I feel 1000x better. I also take 2000mg of krill oil and I consume a lot of protein. I have my down moments still but I feel better.

  • Are you seeing a therapist? That might help.
  • Im trying to avoid the pills too, so my doc told me to try taking a Vitamin D supplement everyday. She told me to try it for about two weeks and see if anything changes. 

     

    So maybe you can try it too and see if it helps. GL!
