Best meds for PPD & anxiety?

Question

I’m 10 months postpartum, and really started feeling PPD set in around month 4. But lately my anxiety has increased a lot. I take Wellbutrin for depression, and was on it for a while before I even got pregnant. But I’m wondering what works for all of you?

Answer

My postpartum anxiety really spiked around month 4 as well. I got on cipralex (lexapro). Took about 3 months to really kick in and get myself back to normal but I'm back to feeling good and pregnant again!

Answer

I’ve been on Effexor for anxiety and depression during PPD and now during my second pregnancy. It has been a lifesaver and I’ve found it really helpful as it is a different line of drugs... SNRI vs SSRI.

Answer

Wellbutrin made my anxiety worse so that could be a culprit making that worse... Zoloft worked really well for it all except it made me sick to my stomach and my heart race so I couldn’t continue to take it which sucks because it was working well for my anxiety
