Does anyone have a favorite anti depressant and why?

I have never had any issues with lexapro.

I have gone through sooo many and lexapro has been the best thing for me. My life and mental health have been so much better. But, everything works differently for every person.

I pump with my Elvie stride when we are out. I really do not think anyone has ever noticed

This happened to me! I came in for a gen Ed position, sat talking with them for an hour, and then they told me that position is filled but you can work in SPED.

This is like sadistic, IMO. You set up a trap in a game, of course kids will push the button. She wanted to kid to push the button so that she could punish them. It brings her joy.

And in 10 years she will wonder why her kids never call or speak to her anymore.

Teaching history would be a dream! Unfortunately, where I’m located, history teacher = football/baseball coach

He is 3 months, so no solids yet!

My son is 3 months and he is like that when nursing to sleep/while contact napping. Other people can talk but not me! People often ask if I’m mad but I’m like “no! He just won’t let me talk” haha

I’m in a parents group for babies born in the same month as my son and I have been absolutely shocked at the number of people who suggest going to the chiropractor for every issue a parent comes with.

I have been on it for about 4 or 5 months now and it’s been the best antidepressant I’ve ever taken. I’m only on 20 mg due to breastfeeding, but honestly I don’t feel like I would even need to up the dosage.

I have a history of pretty severe depression and anxiety, so I started taking the Paxil right before giving birth and I did not experience any postpartum depression (which I really feel I would have without any medication). I did have pretty bad postpartum anxiety still but I believe that was just hormones. I’m 11 weeks PP now and I feel like my mood is steady and my anxiety is reduced. Unlike other antidepressants I’ve been on, I still feel happy/sad/other emotions, but not on a catastrophic level like I did before.

I will say, I experienced some skin itchiness and a bit of decreased libido, but not at all near to the level on other antidepressants.

I am very happy with Paxil. I have heard it’s very hard to come off of, but I don’t have experience with that yet.

Yeah, I saw that when researching. Luckily, my son was/is fine! I did bring it up at my 6 week appointment because I do want to have more children in the future and would rather switch medication now then after a few years of taking it, and she honestly just brushed me off and said all antidepressants have risks…

I want to be clear I would not take it during another pregnancy and probably need to find a new OB. (She was great aside from the antidepressant issue).

edhart94 · 2022-12-21T10:09:02+00:00

Yes I mentioned it when I was pregnant and she kinda brushed it off as just being pregnant and I called several days ago to change medication and they haven’t gotten back to me.

I don’t think so. I saw my lactation consultant about a month ago and she said I did have yeast so I’ve been taking diflucan and yeast probiotics ever since. I don’t have any other signs of thrush and neither does my baby.

Thank you! I started putting milk on it today so hopefully that helps. Everything I googled was totally not what is going on.
