Update - good and bad!
I recently switched to Zoloft for anxiety (particularly morning anxiety that had hung around for most of two years). It went really poorly and I had one of the toughest few weeks I have had. I am now 100/% off Zoloft and back on a low dose of Paxil while also taking Klonipin. Overall, I am doing better

Hi everyone. Is it normal for postpartum depression and anxiety to take a break and then come back randomly, even if I am taking medication? My first period came back after birth and I am wondering if it is tied to that. The feeling of depression is strong and I am tired of it. The medication suppresses

The Worst State of Depression.
It's terrible. Exhausting. I've had clinical depression and anxiety from 5 years. I am taking medications with good compliance. I also got my medications changed twice. But from 2 weeks, my depression and anxiety has crippled me. It has grasped me tightly. I am literally numbed to the core. Unable
