Question: Postpartum Depression and Zoloft

Posted by laurie on April 25, 2000, at 12:51:14

Hi:

Just discovered Dr. Bob's site and have been surfing
thru the whole thing for the last 2 hours. It's Great!

I developed postpartum depression after the birth
of my second daughter and am currently on 150mg of
Zoloft/day. I have been on this for about 5-6
weeks. It has helped the depression, but I am
finding I need to take about 2mg of Lorazepam so that
I can sleep at night. I have tried 4 times,
unsuccessfully, to wean myself off the Lorazepam.
I will be going to see the nurse practitioner tomorrow
(4-26) to talk about either increasing the dosage
or switching to something else. I've been reading
that Serzone is effective for depression without the
side effects of insomnia.

I'd appreciate any feedback you all would have about
these meds, side effects and what has worked for you.

This is my first bout with depression and I have never
experienced anything so horrible. I am truly
now more empathetic and sympathetic when somebody
says he/she are struggling with this.

cheers.
laurie
