I'm sorry you ended up in the ER! :( hope things are better now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1182397 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:34:35 +0000 googly-eyes 1182397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I think an ob can, but mine just referred me to a counselor, not wanting to start meds unnecessarily. Then I ended up in the ER, and then followed up with my regular dr who started me on meds right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1182162 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:28:50 +0000 purrpletulips 1182162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB prescribed meds for me (actually wrote the script for 100mg tablets but told me to cut them in half and only take 50mg so I wouldn't have to pay so many copays). I took 50mg Zoloft for about 9 months. Although there are times when I think I probably should still be taking the meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1181273 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 09:06:18 +0000 cmomma17 1181273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: so sorry for your loss too :(</p> <p>Ladies who did take something: what did you take and for how long? And when did you start feeling better? (Maybe a separate thread?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1181217 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:51:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 1181217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB gave me my meds after my miscarriage as well. Proud of you for advocating for yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1181200 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:47:49 +0000 cmomma17 1181200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I just feel like "Again?", I thought I had this depression/anxiety thing managed! Some days though I'm just soooo tired and sit like a lump unable to do anything (and I know that's not normal).<br /> I always wish I had gone sooner too! But hey, at least we went at all! Hope you're feeling much better</p> <p>@lilteacherbee: thanks :) I'm so sorry for your loss, hope you're feeling better</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: thanks! hope you're feeling much better. a ppd specific counselor sounds great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1180969 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:57:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 1180969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB prescribed meds and also gave me a referral to a counselor who specialized in PPD, instead of just a regular counselor. Good luck with everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1180855 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:04:12 +0000 lilteacherbee 1180855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: My OB prescribed my meds after my miscarriage. Hope it gets better for you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1180848 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:50:52 +0000 Boheme 1180848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: No shame in it at all. You will feel better for yourself, and for your LO. I waited 3 months before taking meds, and now I wish I had done it sooner. It's a hard place to be in, but after you get help and support, the only way is up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1180844 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:45:23 +0000 cmomma17 1180844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: thanks :heart: I'm going back and forth. I'm trying not to feel bad/broken/like a failure if I do need meds. I've taken them in the past, and I've done counseling before as well. I just hate that I'm here again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1180841 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:41:53 +0000 Boheme 1180841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB prescribed my meds, and continues to do the refills. I'm glad you're going to advocate for yourself :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mentioning-depression-to-obgyn#post-1180836 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 06:38:29 +0000 cmomma17 1180836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an appointment today (annual checkup) and. I'm going to mention how depressed I feel at 6 months pp. Just curious, if meds were part of a treatment plan, would my OB prescribe them or would I go to my regular doctor? </p>
