I started Zoloft at 6 weeks pp. I feel like I'm ready to start weening off of it, but I'm not sure if its the right thing to do. I know ppd can last a year or more, so maybe I should wait?!?
I have no prior history of depression or anxiety. I really think it all came from having a scary l&d, and having a preemie (I had a sudden onset of severe pre-e)
Thoughts?
Re: Going off meds
do NOT self medicate on any level especially with anti-depressants or SSRIs
Just call your doc and let them advise you on the proper way to ween off.
Congrats on getting a handle on all of it! that's great news!

I know my Ob doesn't want me to try to wean off of anything before Feb/Mar timing, because of the risk of seasonal affect disorder (getting depressed during the winter months). He doesn't want any of his PPD patients weaning off their meds in the fall/winter timing, only going into spring/summer because he's seen this happen so many times.
I definately plan on calling my dr when I decide that I'm ready to come off the meds! I'm just not sure if I should wait a few more months.
