repost: PPD

in Postpartum Depression

I just posted this on 3-6 months and was told about this new board.

---------------

I have decided that the funk I am in is postpartum depression.  I talked with my OB's office today and I have an appointment with my family doctor on Monday. 

Have any of you dealt with PPD?  If so, did you use prescription anti-depressants or were you able to avoid taking meds?

I'd rather not go on a med if possible, but at the same time, I know I have not been successful just waiting it out.  My DH is wonderful and DS is a really good baby, but I am not as happy about everything as I feel I should be and I feel guilty about it.

    well I was feeling the same way about taking meds until I realized that PPD causes a CHEMICAL imbalance in your brain, it's completely out of your control and it's not something that you can just "snap out of" So when I finally realized this I was ok with being put on medication. I rather take meds than feel this way so I'm ok with it.

    I was put on Zoloft and I honestly do see a difference just in the 3 days I've been on it and I know it is only going to get better from here.
