Gonna get some meds...I hope.
Called my OB, left msg, and waiting for the call back. Last time I mentioned PPD (post partum depression) he was willing to call me in a prescription. I hope he'll be ready to do the same. I don't know if it makes a difference if Josephine's 18 months now, but it's been creeping up for several months now, and just reched critical mass now. My sister Dru told me last night she called her Dr. when my niece Katie was 18 months, and it was still considered PPD. It's just hard to make the call, especially since Julia wnaders in and out of the room when I'm on the phone and she hears a lot more and grasps a lot more than I'm comfortable with. She asks me: "Are you feeling better, Mommy?" and "are you happy, mommy?" Some things a 3 yr old shouldn't have to deal with.
I'm thinking I'll ask to start with Prozac. Any contraindications I should be aware of?
Oh, and adding to the guilt factor: This means I MUST wean. I know I am trying to do so anyway, but I feel like I'm cutting off my child immediately, as opposed to tapering off the way I've been trying.
msfiend i'll call you a little later...things are crazy right now, crying kids. ditto kartoffel.
