Great question! No - I did not use medication, but thinking back on it now, of course hind site, I probably could have used something. I'm not sure how I got through it, it took a whole year to be completly free and I had to live in the same house with him. Most of that year is a blur. I had to sleep on the sofa in the living room for a whole year,I changed jobs, lost 20 lbs, and went house hunting every weekend, just so I wouldn't have to be around him. WOW!
So now that I think back I could have used something to at least help me sleep. To this day, 1 1/2 years since it's been final, I still don't sleep well. But otherwise the rest of my life is terrific!!!

I was treated for PPD after Joey was born... once everything started happening separation wise, one of the first calls I made was to my doctor who had helped me previously... the meds certainly didn't make it all go away, but they did what they were supposed to do, make it easier to cope with the situation at hand...

During the divorce, I did not use any medication. I had used it several years earlier during the marriage. I was very depressed, largely because of the state of my marriage, and I went on Prozac. During that time, I started having panic attacks while on the medication - this happens to VERY few people on it - lucky me! I went on an anti-anxiety med for a short period of time, and it really helped me.
