Post Partum Depression & Effexor XR
| Sun, 09-12-2004 - 12:12am |
Hi. This is the first time I have done one of these but I figure it's worth a try if there is a chance it will help me to understand why I feel so bad right now. I had a baby 6 weeks ago. You'd think this would be a happy time for me but it's the opposite. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I cry all the time, get upset with me husband and 3 year old son, I have no energy and all I want to do is sleep. I used to be happy and loved to hang out with people. Now I don't want to be around anyone. I went in for my 6 week post partum check-up and my doctor put me on Effexor XR because she thinks I have post partum depression. The only thing is I started feeling like this about 3 months before I had my son, so I don't understand how it could be post partum depression. But she is the doctor and is most likely correct. I've been on the Effexor XR for 5 days now. Hopefully, this works and I get back to feeling like myself. Does anyone have any suggestions or info on either post partum depression or Effexor XR? I need all the help/info I can get. Thanks.
