I have PPD....

jasonlovessara · January 2009

I am sure that it is no surprise with what I have been posting lately but I went to my GP today and when she asked me I just started crying.... she prescribed Celexa (I think that is the name). Then this is the part that I kinda had to laugh at ... she said that I should go to counseling and that it is expensive and that I should go away for the weekend.... what world is she living in? She is very nice but kinda nieve (sp?) to think that I would be able to just go away for a weekend... ha. thanks for all the responses to previous posts!

Sorry hun! Hopefully the Celexa will be your answer! It has worked wonders for some ppl I know IRL.

And, Ya right, Go away with twin infants.. HAHAHAHAHA!

I'm glad you were able to get some meds. I hope it helps.

I had to laugh at the doc's advice to go away for the weekend.

I understand. My posts haven't been very positive lately either! I am glad your dr helped you!

Hang in there! I'm glad you're getting treatment, and the Celexa should help soon (although don't be surprised if it takes a few days to kick in). Check your insurance, though-- yes, "counseling" (for PPD, I would call it "therapy") is expensive if you pay out of pocket, but most medical insurance will pay for 10-20 sessions and you might find that helpful in addition to the meds.
