Hospital notes
I have been sectioned in the same awful psychiatric ward twice (once with PPP after the birth of my son, and once with
psychosis
brought on by lack of sleep 2 years later when I was under a lot of stress at work) and both times were very traumatic as I'm sure lots of people here can relate to.

A hello and a question about c-section
Hi everyone, I am so grateful there is a community for people to share experiences on PP and support one another. My wife had an episode of PP following the birth of our son 2,5 years ago. She was hospitalized for 3 weeks and given shots for another 6 months. Everything went back to normal. Now that

Does anyone know Olanzapine's mode of action?
I had PP after my first son and was prescribed olanzapine. I also took it after my 2nd son at a lower dose as a preventative for a few months (that time I was fine). Anyway, 2 years on, sometimes I take olanzapine 2.5mg if I'm under stress and feeling a bit wired/my mind is racing slightly etc. Maybe

Anxiety after pp
It's been nearly 5 months since being diagnosed with pp. I was on an extreme high after taking my daughter home. I felt invincible and jumped out of my third storey window a week after the birth. Luckily I left my daughter in her Moses basket. My husband and mother were there at the time but couldn't

Recovery
Hi all I posted on here 2 years ago talking about
Psychosis
after the birth of my son in 2010. I had a little girl the year before who lived only 8 hours but no PPP there just grieving. I have gone on to have another son last year he is 18 months now.

Despite taking in previous blood test results showing recurrent abnormalities with her thyroid for some time and the fact that they haven't got the results for an endocrine tumour they want to dx her with
psychosis

Relapse, Medication and Unhelpful Doctors
If I wrote my question like an essay it would read: 'To what extent are psychiatric doctors and nurses willing to disclose information about the very medications they use to treat positive symptoms of
psychosis
'. If you would be willing to share your opinion, I would be grateful.

Moral support needed! ... 75mcgs Levo and 20 mcgs T3....... Still exhausted.
I've been told I can only raise by 5mcgs every 2 weeks because of the
psychosis
which has gone thank goodness but reappears if I raise too quickly. Just suppose I need to a bit of moral support to tell me I'm heading in the right direction.x

Was it ppp??
I was wondering if anyone else developed
psychosis
a few months after having their baby. Also did anyone develop
psychosis
after being put on anti depressants. I have also had 3 psychotic episodes since I was diagnosed with ppp.

CBD oil
So, I was speaking to a chap in glasgow who suffers from
psychosis
. He couldn't sing its praises enough. Add that to the fact the ampule in the bottle of cibdol we have doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle has led me to buying a bottle of the better oil this guy recommended.

Anyone else really tired?
I seem to be a regular here but just wondered if anyone else was exhausted after suffering from PP? I had PP in March 2014, probably five days after birth of my son. Prescribed Aripriprizole. This made me feel really sleepy. Came off medication in May this year but I still feel tired all the time. My

Please can you advise me.....endo has upped my T3 and I'm now in unfamiliar territory..
My latest bloods are TSH 0.13 (0.35-5.6) FT4 10.20 (7.5-21.1) FT3 5.40 (3.8-6.8) So I am not to increase my levothyroxine as he is still concerned about the
psychosis
which it seems to induce. He has asked me to dose 3 or 4 times a day.

Am I alone and will It ever go away
Hi I suffered with PP in 2013, after the birth of my first child, I had never heard of it before, also once the physcosis subsided I was left with severe anxiety and depression. As the literature advised it was roughly a year before I felt ok again. Another year has passed now and I have had periods
