Doctor Said I have Depression
| Mon, 08-16-2004 - 9:29am |
My Doctor told me I have postpartum depression little over a year ago.My last daughter is now 2.She put me on Lexapro 10mg. aday.I stopped taking it 3 months later.I felt as though it didnt help.I dont think I am depressed.I think it's something else.My symptons are tired and cranky most of the time,no suicidal thought.This could be anything why do doctors have to put the blame right away on depression?I think I'm not getting the right kind of sleep.Every morning I wake up with pains in my shoulders and hips.What should I do to get my doctor to look at other options?I tried to tell her that I dont think I am depressed but she wont listen to me.Should I try a different clinic so the doctors cant look at my records and see that I'm suppose to be on Lexapro?Has this happened to anyone?Please give me some suggestions.

I don't have any other suggestions right now, but I'd strongly recommend a thyroid blood test. You could also have an anemia test at the same time, b/c that can also make you tired.
Take care,
Nicola
