Postpartum anxiety and Celexa

Jessica

I just went for my 6 week postpartum appointment yesterday, and I scored high on the postpartum depression/anxiety screening, so my provider recommended starting medication. She said from talking with me and reading my answers, I have postpartum anxiety with maybe a small depressive component but maybe not full postpartum depression. I am almost positive had postpartum anxiety with my oldest but I lied on those screens because I was embarrassed, so I never got any treatment and I really struggled for a while after delivering. This time, my husband asked me to please be honest with him and my docs this time if I was struggling, and now they have started me on Celexa. I took my first dose today and I go back in a month for a Med check to see how well it’s working. Has anyone else been on Celexa for postpartum anxiety? How did it work for you and did you have any side effects? If you breastfed, did it affect your supply or have any effects on baby? They told me about all the possible things to look for and be aware of when they saw me yesterday, but I was just curious if anyone who had actually used this medication had any insights for me. Thanks in advance!
