Has anyone else been prescribed sertraline for postpartum depression?

Did you find it helped at all? Or if you had any side effects?

😊

Hey I haven't taken it for ppd but I had it before when I was having a hard time of things and I found out really useful and didn't have any side effects.

My best friend also took it when she did have ppd and found it really useful alongside counselling. I don't know if she had any side effects from it, but I think if she had any they weren't bad enough for her to stop taking them.

I know for me they did take a while to have any effect, but they did help me after a few weeks.

Xx
