Anti-depressants?
Posted: 08-25-07 21:52pm

Hey everyone,
Just a quick question..
I went to my dr on thursday and after we talked for a while she decided to put me on Citalopram for PPD. I read over the pamplet and am not sure if i want to be on them, they sound kind of scary to me (with some side effects being suicide). It has been very stressful for me the past couple of months, I was going to school, working, and being home with my daughter while my finacee was at work. We've started fighting a lot lately and he says it's because of my moodyness and attitude. I've had very little patience with him or my daughter lately, and am verrry fatigued. Sometimes i think about just up and leaving him with my daughter, but i know i could never do that. It's just a random thought when i've just had too much!.... I told my dr all that and then she prescribed the pills. But i still just don't know if i want to be on them!? Is there any other ways to make all those issues better, without being on anti-depressents!?

Hey mommy
hope you are feeling a little better about yourself, how old is your daughter? the reason I ask is my wife felt very low after our daughter was born and after a few very hard months we went to our doctor who told us it was post natal depression.
Im sure you are aware of this and I would just like to reaffirm that if you are suffering form this please take up your doctors offers off all the counciling and groups.
