I had extremely bad PPD after the birth of my son 2 1/2 years ago. I didn't get help until he was about 18 months. I thought I was going to lose my mind. I am thinking seriously about trying to have another baby. I am on so many meds. right now. I am on Prozac for OCD, & depression, Klonopin for social anxiety, Inderal for social anxiety and Elavil (the only way I can get to sleep). I know I can't take Klonopin while pregnant but what about the other meds.? At least prozac and Elavil? I am not planning on breast feeding because it put more pressure on me because I couldn't get enough milk for him. I don't want that added pressure. My PPD was so bad I don't even remember my son's first three months. What can I do? Any advice?
Thank you,
Angel
