medications/counseling for postpartum

i’m suffering from severe postpartum depression/anxiety. to top it off my baby’s almost 4 months and me & his father split so i really lost my only support system. but to be honest, it’s it to the point where his support wouldn’t be enough anyways. i know i need the professional help, whatever makes me the best mom i can be to my son, he’s my world no matter what i’m going through.

SO - i see a new therapist & psychologist later this week. a previous dr who i don’t see anymore due to distance wanted me on zoloft. i was very hesitant because i’ve heard more bad than good. i’ve also been on ssr meds in the past for depression / anxiety, and i know they can rake up to a couple months to work. this time around, i don’t have that kind of time to get better.

i also have adhd which i take concerta for. & was on clonozepam for severe anxiety but after i run out , i’m all done depending on what my new psychologist & therapist decide on for treatment.

mommas who went through pp depression /anxiety; what worked best for you? i’m very curious as to what most women end up taking for it, how long it works, how affective it is, ect. i know it’s personal so any answers are SO appreciated. it’ll help ease my crazy mind at least a little. i’ve never been so bad in my life :( i never imagined it would be this way.

sorry for the long post, any input helps a ton! thank you in advance🙏🏼💜
