in Postpartum Depression

I just had a panic attack over my baby's constant mouthing (he found his voice) and I kept thinking "this is grating on my nerves terribly"...I didn't mean for it to sound harsh but my nerves are so shot from so many things hormonally and life-wise that hearing him gabber so loudly literally hurts my senses.

I went of Cymbalta last week and now am on a low dose of Prozac (which I will work myself up more through doctor's orders).

I also take Klonopin but find that makes me more depressed (less anxious but more depressed)

I am  5 mos PP and this is hell on earth.

To all of you going through any of this, I offer you my prayers for peace and serenity to come back to you and for your babies to thrive admidst whatever chaos is inside you.

God Bless

    I regretfully didn't seek help until I was 6 1/2m pp. For me it was more anxiety than depression and I lashed out at dh, not dd. But it was quite difficult to deal with all the same.

    I take a generic Zoloft (since I am bf'ing) and have had tremendous luck with that! I hope you are feeling better soon Smile

    I didn't seek help until last week.  I kept thinking I was just stressed and it was my hormones.  I finally realized that being soo worried and stressed and frustrated, and overwhelmed was just not normal.  Sorry you are having a hard time.  I'm still waiting for my meds to kick in.

    8 1/2 months for me to come to terms with it. I too realized that I'm just not acting normal. the way I was acting wasn't the real me.

    I didn't get help until I was about 4 months PP.  It sucked.  I kept thinking things would go back to normal and they never did.  I write about it in my blog if you want to read...
