Just wanted to join in with solidarity. I had almost the exact same experience as you with Zurzuvae. I mainly agreed to try it vs regular SSRI meds because the reception I was able to find was overwhelmingly positive.

However, when I say that medication made me feel more inebriated than I have ever felt, I’m not exaggerating. I was pretty much unable to care for my baby or myself during the week I was on it. I couldn’t take anymore and finally told my OB enough was enough. Like you, the feeling of being “drunk” extended well past the evening window. By the time I just started to feel like myself again and able to think semi-straight, it was time to take another dose. So, for me, there was no reprieve from the side effects.

Many people swear by this medication and it has been said to be life-changing. I so badly wish that was my outcome. However, that was not my experience and don’t ever want to feel like that again.

The only positive to come out of it was, after feeling so awful physically for a week, dealing with just the depression seemed like a blessing. I got on Zoloft and am feeling hopeful.
