anyone else prescribed depression medicine after getting pregnant? I've never been a depressed…

I would just take it until your hormones level out you don't want ppd so you can get better baby needs a happy mommy I've always had depression I don't feel comfortable taking while pregnant but afterwards it helps I'm going to talk to my doctor about it when I go back to make sure they can give me something because I think im still suffering from Ppd from my 18 month old and I just want to get back to normal I but since you've never had had it before they probably gave you a lower script so I think that you should be okay so long as the medication doesn't make things worse and it will take a little while for it to take effect so just be patient I hope you feel better soon

It sounds to me like you should really take it. I'm no medical professional, but reading what you're saying here, clearly points to depression. I have anxiety and depression. I haven't been put back on either medication yet, as I try to make it through the first trimester med free, but this time of year, combined with all these hormones going crazy, I know it's going to happen. Usually six or so weeks after delievery, my Dr weans me off and I feel like myself! It doesn't have to be permanently!

@oklahoma.girl55, it may be just pregnancy hormones. I got crazy depression that lasted till about 6 mos along and then it was gone. I felt sad and angry most of the time. I got prescribed meds but ended up deciding not to take them due to risks. I would really try natural stress relievers first and see if you can get any relief. Hopefully it will get better on its own😘

they gave me Zoloft but I won't take ir

@oklahoma.girl55, crocheting has actually been great for anxiety. I'm taking meditation classes also

it just makes me mad that I tried to tell my SO that I was depressed when I started to notice it and his response was "why cause your not living back around all your friends and family who really could care less about you anyways? because when we lived there before your friends and family rarely wanted to see you or cared to invite us over to just hang out so that's stupid you have no reason to be depressed!" it took me a month of sitting in this house with no motivation to leave or speak to anyone and me and him constantly arguing and me despising him to the point where I just lost it in my appointment Friday and my doctor instantly said it's depression and he had to have a doctor explain it to him as so to what I was going through and even then as soon as we left the office he said "that doctor just wants to make money off of you that's why she made all this bs us about you being depressed you have never been someone who was depressed before now all of a sudden cause a doctor told you you are you actually believe it and want to take this bs medicine so they can make money?!" it's really hard to fix this problem when you don't have the support system you need to do it. @ashalay88 @chasityfallon

I've been in pretty much the same situation my family lived where we live now when we met and then they moved and we always go to his family but he didn't want to go to mine, for holidays and everything and I finally just got fed up and was like look we see your family all the time and I wouldn't keep you away from them so we're going to see my family whether you like it or not if I have to go with or without you we have been together for 6 years and have our third baby on the way but I do know that when my family moved away and I couldn't see them for a while my depression got worse because you feel like you have no one and no options if something does happen because you've distanced yourself for your own family I got to the point where I didn't even want to talk to them on the phone because I felt bad and I am to the point where I get extremely irritated with him too like I almost despise him but I still love him but sometimes every little thing they do gets on your nerves maybe we just need to see our family more often
