Our little boy just turned 4 weeks and I was put on Zoloft today for PPD. It is pretty bad, and I am miserable. I really hope this stuff works. I get so agitated when he cries, and we have a 2 and a half year old as well, which makes things much harder for me. I didn't have any problems after our first was born. How are you doing?

I am doing ok. I am miserable also. The thoughts are just terrifying. I just wish my medicine would start working and I would start feeling better. I hope all goes well with you. Zoloft worked well for me for about 6 years then just stopped working so they switched me to Paxil.

I started on Effexor for PPOCD and it has done wonders for me!! I feel normal again. I know it sucks waiting for the meds to kick in, and that can take up to 4 weeks. If you are not feeling better by then, make sure you tell your GP right away. Sometime Dr's start you out on a dose that is too high, which actually can give the opposite affect of what you need. I started on the lowest doese of 37.5 mg and after 3 months I had it rasied to 75 mg which is perfect for me right now. You'll get through this and you will start to feel better. Stay on top of it though, if you get too busy and let the feelings get to you for a week it can really hinder your progress. You may needto mix and match different meds to find the right kind and right dose. Keep me posted, and I'm here to talk whenever you need to.
