Hello ladies, 

I have been dealing with PPD since my LO was about 3 mos old. well, before that, but full swing to go in an get a zoloft rx was at 3 mos. I have tried to wean off of it, with my drs approval, and I even after going like 2 days without it, I just feel so overwhelmed, frustrated, irritated, etc. Am I ever going to be able to wean off of it and feel like myself without it? I hate being "dependent" even knowing that my husband suffered from depression due to family issues as a child, and he fully supports me and needing them and understands its a hormonal imbalance. I just feel so frustrated with myself that I can't overcome it.....

    I am not sure I understand the title of your post? Is it PPD? another kind of depression? to me, depression is depression & I have dealt with all kinds in my life. honestly you shouldn't worry about being dependent on something that helps you feel normal. dont worry about the frustration, if it makes u feel better, u probably need the medicine.

    i can understand the feelings of wanting to overcome PPD but if you are okay on your meds then you HAVE overcome it... you've won just because you've found a way to be in a better space mentally, for you and for your family.  keep that in mind and decide to wean off your meds when you and your doctor decide to try again, maybe give it 3 more months and see if that helps get your brain chemicals back to normal? 

    i'm still on wellbutrin and my son is only a couple weeks older than your's, i can't see weaning off successfully at all in the foreseeable future, even though our plan was to TTC when LO turns a year old (then again, i'm pretty down right now and have been looking up information on getting my tubes tied and wondering if it's too late to give my kid up for adoption and those are thoughts i'm having when i TAKE my meds).

    Sorry if its confusing, I do have ppd, I just haven't ever come to here and I was on here and it is nice to see I'm not the only one, I feel frustrated with myself, and then I saw there are lots of other women who are going through similar issues, and it makes me feel a little better.
