Finding this site is probably going to help me in so many ways... This is already my 3rd post, but I guess that's what this is all about, right?
Since the birth of Jaden, I have been on three different anti-depressants. Zoloft, Celexa and now Effexor. I don't know that any of them have really done anything. I've been on Effexor for a couple of months but I'm still a crazy mess. Please help me determine if there's more to it than just PPD... My "symptoms": *I cry for absolutely no reason at all.. Commercials, bumper stickers, songs.. even if they are happy, happy, happy! *I get super emotional over every little thing. *I take everything my honey, Garred, says very personally. *I start arguments over absolutely nothing. *I've even gotten violent towards Garred; I've thrown an ashtray at him that barely missed his head Am I going crazy or what??? -------------------- |

Not crazy at all, but you definetly seem to be suffering from PPD, or depression in general. Is your doctor monitoring the side effects of the medication? When was the last time you seen him to discuss the lack of progress.
Anti-depressants usually take a couple weeks to start to take effect with as many as 6-8 weeks to take complete effect. If they aren't helping, you really need to go back to your Family Physician. You may have to try quite a few different ones until you find the one that's right for you. Also are you seeking any kind of councelling while taking the meds? This can really help you sort out your feelings and any underlining problems. If you need to talk, feel free to pm me, and feel free to read my story in the PPD forum.

![]() I also don't know enough about ppd but I would definitely mention it to your doctor. It may be side affects or it may be that you haven't found the right prescription yet. ![]() |
