Medication for PND

Has anyone started on it?

It’s been about 5-6 weeks of post natal depression. I’m waiting on a appointment for therapy but it seems to be getting worse in the mean time so I’m considering medication.

I know it takes a while to kick in, but I’m also worried about side effects.

Just feel like it’s kicking my butt at the moment 🥲

I started on some a week ago. It does take a couple of weeks to kick in but I’ve already felt a difference.

That’s great it’s started to make a difference for you!

Have you noticed any side effects?

No not really. But I have had my mum on hand this week as the doctor said the medication could make me irritable. But I’ve not really felt like that at all.

Ahh that’s good to know x

I didn't have it for PND but have had medication previously. After a couple of weeks I honestly wished I had done it sooner x

Third baby.

What made you decide to just go for it?
How was the change from two to three?

I definitely want a third, but I don’t feel ready. BUT, saying that I don’t think anyone ever feels ready do they, there’s never going to be a perfect time.

Is this a dodgy test?

First response testing 4/5 days before my period is due! This one is even more sensitive for me because we lost a baby at 26 weeks in January! Do you think the test line looks like it might be inaccurate? Maybe I’m just in disbelief?
