Postpartum Depression

Jessica

So today I had to go back to my OB because my PPD is currently taking over my life., I am currently 11w5d Postpartum. When I went to 6 week check up I had mentioned to my OB that I was feeling a little bit of it and she offered meds, I said “I will see if it will fade on its own” so she cleared me from my SDI & I started my PFL.. going on my last week this week and my anxiety is up the roof! So I went back to her today and I had about a 10 minute sit down with her explained my feelings.. I cried to her, vented to her. She offered meds and recommended me to seek counseling and come back to see her in 3 weeks. She also recommended me to take more time off work but my PFL is over and I have to go back, so I’m stressed about that and it’s making my anxiety worse!! She prescribed me 50mg Zoloft, it’s about 10:17 & I’m contemplating on taking it because I’m so scared that it will make me feel worse..

Has anyone else went through this and was prescribed these meds? How did you feel when you were taking it? Did you ladies have any crazy side effects? What did you do about your job and money??

I didn’t go through this with my first born who is now 13 & it’s all hitting me like crazy, it’s so up and down..
