My son just turned two and I am FINALLY feeling like my old self again. Idk how anyone expects a new mom to go back to work in as little as 6 wks - INSANE!! I never took any rx but went through periods of drinking wine or beer every night, and smoking weed - which just helps me in general. Having a baby is SO HARD!!!! But they are pure joy - and it does get easier! And you will be a better person for it, even though as EP said, everything is upside down right now and you feel like 🥴😭🤯 all the time. Hopefully you have help and can take some time for yourself - it's so necessary and we should all stop feeling so guilty about it. Hang in there, girl!!!❤️

Yes. Not Zoloft but another anti depressant and anti anxiety med. I had post Partum. Not horrible, but bad enough. I had been on SSRIs before pregnancy and went off 3 years before getting pregnant. Went back on w PPD, stayed on thru next pregnancy (all monitored and under my dr) bc the risk for depression during and after pregnancy was too great, and I’m still on them years later and likely will always be.

Good for you for inquiring. Start with your PCP if you don’t have a therapist or psychiatrist. It can take some trial and error to get on the right med and the right dosage. It may be for a little while only. But I hope you get the help you need, whether it’s this or something else. Becoming a mom is hard and disruptive. Everything is upside down. Good luck.

Thank you for asking this question. I am 10 months pp and came off citalopram during my first trimester and it was soooooo rough. Have been struggling with my moods, confidence and mental sharpness ever since. I was just hoping it would get better with time, but also feel like I’m only part of the person I was before coming off. Not sure what to do. Still breastfeeding too.

Yes, at 10 weeks postpartum when I “failed” the are you okay test and it was nothing short of a miracle. I probably should’ve with my first but I didn’t know that PPA was a thing, I just thought it was my new normal.

Yes. Zoloft. Best decision ever. Changed my entire life.

I got on Zoloft BEFORE my first. Increased my dose a few times to deal w PPD and Chronic Insomnia due to anxiety. Got back down, upped my dose again 2 weeks before my second was born and am still on that elevated dose. I would probably be on the path to divorce, unemployment and stints at the mental health ward without it.

Recently stopped taking Concerta (after taking it for almost 2 years at varying doses) because it started having some negative effects on my heart rate.

Anyone have any good Straterra experiences?

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
