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?
-
My OB prescribed my meds, and continues to do the refills. I'm glad you're going to advocate for yourself
-
@grizz: thanks
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.
-
@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
-
@cmomma17: My OB prescribed my meds after my miscarriage. Hope it gets better for you
-
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.
-
@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).
I always wish I had gone sooner too! But hey, at least we went at all! Hope you're feeling much better@lilteacherbee: thanks
I'm so sorry for your loss, hope you're feeling better@yoursilverlining: thanks! hope you're feeling much better. a ppd specific counselor sounds great!
-
My OB gave me my meds after my miscarriage as well. Proud of you for advocating for yourself!
-
@LovelyPlum: so sorry for your loss too
Ladies who did take something: what did you take and for how long? And when did you start feeling better? (Maybe a separate thread?)
-
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.
-
@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.
-
@googly-eyes: that's exactly what happened to me - a referral to a counselor. I'm sorry you ended up in the ER!
hope things are better now!
