So along with my appointment today my doctor talked to me about my post partum depression I had with Lauryn but never brought it up or got medication for it so this time around he prescribed zoloft and for some reason I'm really nervous about taking it. I'm suppose to start taking it right away starting with half a pill for 8 days then a whole pill onward. He said it might make me nauseous so a lot of people take them at night before bed. I'm not sure why I'm so nervous about taking it. Even though he told me it wont interfere with breastfeeding I'm still nervous about that. I've also thought about how I felt after Lauryn and how hard that was and the emotional outbursts i don't want to go through again. I'm also hoping taking the medication will help with my anxiety and panic attacks. However, I don't like having to take pills. I don't even like taking tylenol when I have a headache or in pain. I will eventually but I probably wait longer to do it then I really should. So, I guess if anyone has experiences and testimonies good or bad about taking zoloft I would really like to hear about them. I don't know why I'm struggling with this so much but the irony is this anti-depressant medication is causing me anxiety lol. So please feel free to share your stories and sorry for my post being so long.

I've learned that I go through a mild PostPDepression after my babies too and I appreciate my doctor prescribing it ahead of time so when it pops up I'm prepared and can knock it out. I get Escitalopram and usually take for about 6 weeks. After my 1st I waited till over a year to speak up. Try to see it as just a temporary help to get you back on track. 💗

Sounds like your doctor wants you to take the anti-depressants this go around before your baby arrives so you can avoid PPD this time unlike the last. I took Zoloft years ago (non pregnant)when I was diagnosed with chronic depression and I loved it! It definitely helped me a lot.
