In reply to Xanax like drinking?! Post partum depression meds, posted by AJsmommy on October 5, 2004, at 18:58:05
from my family doc. The first time I got Zoloft and it totally sedated me. I was having a hard enough time getting sleep taking care of a new baby, and the Zoloft make me sleepy all day long. The Zoloft definitely helped with my anxiety, but made me feel emotionless.
I'm currently being treated for post-partum depression, anxiety and OCD and my doc has given me Effexor XR (225mg), Klonopin (.25mg 3 x daily) and Doxepin (50mg), a tri-cyclic AD, to help me sleep at night.
It wasn't tough to get them and I'm doing well with these meds. I have 3 young children, ages 5, 2, and 1.
I'm not sure what you can do to get some medication. Can you see a psychiatrist where you are if the family doc types won't help you out?
Good luck!
