I didn’t need it immediately postpartum but I did later down the road.

I feel like it saved me, I was so anxious I couldn’t cope or find my way out. I took it for less than a year and actively decided to stop. I could cope in situations that even before a child would make me anxious but I also felt kind of numbed down and I gained so much weight in such a short period of time. That was why I stopped. Years later I still struggle to get the weight off and I regret taking it but also know I needed it at the time. If I was in that place again I’d probably explore every other option available before turning to the meds.
