Good morning,
I was wondering if ppd ever fully goes away? I have dealt with anxiety in the past, well probably my whole adult life so far to some extent. I never took anything for it. I had ppd with my first child at 29. I know now i suffered ppd but was never diagnosed properly. My 2nd child 35 i had gestational diabetes with no ppd at all. Third child 39 and had ppd very bad. I took anti dep. For a year with talk therapy. It helped but still had fogginess/haziness all the time. It did help with anxiety and racing thoughts. When my third child turned 1 i was so happy the fog lifted and was finally feeling back to my old self. I got off anti dep. Ive been off antidep. For 4 months now. And ended talk therapy. Now its creeping back in. Haziness, light sensitivity, sometimes anxiety attacks waking me up out of sleep on occasion. Head feels full, dull headaches. Feeling like im headed back to square one. I wanted to know if anyone has tried cbd oil verses anti dep. Any help would be appreciated. Will ppd ever go away? Or willi always have GAD? All my bloodwork and body is good. I am low in vitamin D. My doctor said to take 1000 mg daily. Can this be why?Ugh frustrated...

I’m so sorry!! So a friend of mine tried CBD but recently mentioned she didn’t take it anymore so I’m not sure it worked well? A different friend had ppa, was on medication for 1.5yrs, got off, ended up getting back on them until 3 years pp then got off again and has been fine for like 10 years now! So sometimes I think it’s just that you need more time, especially with little ones!!
Hi jdjsjs
How are you doing? Hope life is treating you well and you’re feeling better x
I am doing much better! Still have issues sometimes but I’m feeling like my old self again some days!!
That’s great to hear. Recovery can be a bit of an arduous journey with ups and downs but so positive there are more good days x
Thank you,
Well im waiting on my cbd oil..i dont know anymore its back everyday the fogginess just so depressing. I feel like i can function and manage to some degree but its not easy. I have a gyno appt. Next week. My primary doctor gave me refill for my medication. Im still breastfeeding my 16 month old. I would start back up today but i always fear the medicine is going to affect him. But i am going to wean him off this summer. Maybe i should just go ahead and wean now..
I totally understand! My daughter was born Oct. 2017! My issues started around January 2018. I am also still breastfeeding and take lexapro 20 mgs. I hate taking it while breastfeeding also but I have always watched my daughter closely and have never noticed any changes from the medication. How often is you baby nursing? I’ve been reading that weaning can cause a temporary flare up with ppa/ppd. Could it be that they aren’t nursing much anymore so your hormones are changing?
Oh thats cool! 2017 babies. Well i always thought maybe the breastfeeding is a big part of it. But i have been doing it since beginning. Why did i feel so good for 4 months then bam back to feeling depressed and anxiety at times? How do you like the lexapro? Did you have any side effects? I wanted to try t
it but my NP said i had to stop breastfeeding. She said she would like me to stick with the fluoextine that i was on. My son is 15mths now and 25 lbs. She gave me 5mg lexapro but its sitting in my closet. Waiting to hear back from her. But i read some women are breastfeeding with lexapro. Im confused. Thank you for responding!
My son nurses 3xs a day. I think im going to wean but i need to get back on something first. Just scared. I know my hormones will be acting up plus my period will come back. Mainly bc its my last baby and no more breastfeeding....
