Hi all, I thought I would share my experience on here and maybe take some fear away about having to take antidepressants!
I have developed mild pnd/pna after having LO. I wasnt able to go and sleep upstairs, for some reason i was terrified not that something would happen to LO or me but I really couldnt pin point it so I slept on the couch with the TV on all night, during the day, I had to distract myself, everytime I didnt and just sat down, watched or fed LO, I would start to feel my heart racing again, I didnt want to be around people other than my hubby and kids and I liked it more when my OH was taking care of LO rather then me! Anyways, I went straight to the Dr. and asked for help, they put me on a low dosage of Prozac and within a few days I was getting better and better, I took the pills for about 2 months (like I said, I only had mild pnd) and then only taking it every other day for about 2 weeks. I am no longer taking any meds but I have not fallen back into deppression and anxiety! I am very glad my doctors prescribed me prozac, I dont know what I would have done without it or how much worse it might have gotten!
Anyways, I thought maybe some others are in need of help but are afraid to get on meds for a while! It sure helped me
