Anxiety

Long story short, I have had anxiety/depression on and off in the past and was on Wellbutrin XL, which worked for me.  I weaned Josh last week (his last nursing session was last Thurs morning) and today my anxiety is off the charts.  I didn't want to leave Josh and my husband to come to work, really focusing on how much I want to be a stay at home mom, cried all the way to work (which I NEVER cry), feel like my heart is pounding and I can't breathe right.  I know this is anxiety and as a therapist I can talk myself down from it, but it SUCKS. I did start the Wellbutrin on Sunday as I had noticed over the past couple of months I have been very irritable, so once I knew he was weaned I started the meds.  Anyone have experience with an increase in anxiety after weaning?  I see my doctor on Friday and plan to talk to her then but figured I would check in here too.

    Thanks ladies.  Yes Josh is our last one so I am sure there is some emotions going on with knowing I am done nursing babies.  Ugh!  I just hope this phase passes quickly.

    I agree that it's a combo of hormones and you knowing this is your last. Hugs to you and I hope the Wellbutrin helps. It can take a little while to start working well as you probably know, but at least you are being proactive.
