Reply #51: Yes. It helped me with PPD

[Pithlet]

Post Partum Depression. I had it with my firstborn, but didn't realize it till after the fact. I knew what to look for this time, so I didn't hesitate to ask for help after my second born. I wished I'd known better the first time around. I didn't have to suffer. I still feel a range of emotions, but the bad ones don't overwhelm me, and I have more energy.

I'm thinking about asking my doctor to stay on it longer, because it has helped in other ways, too. I tend to have a problem with anxiety, and that has pretty much disappeared.

Everyone is different, though, like others in this thread. Mine was definitely a chemical problem due to hormonal shift. Some people respond better to therapy, or therapy + medication.
