Struggling with Postpartum Depression and Medication

I am on Pristiq for ppd. I have been taking it for one year and 3 months. My son is 16 months now. I am separated from my husband and it's just me and my baby living together and I'm a SAHM... Trying to support him and I financially. It's the HARDEST thing I've gone through and very challenging EVERY SINGLE DAY. I had to trust in Pristiq because there were no other options... But concerned the medicine is just a joke. I can relate: what is it really helping me with..

I can totally relate to the feelings you described! The first couple months after I gave birth were so intense and very much repetitive with all kinds of things around the baby like feeding him, changing, etc. Now, after a year I feel much better, maybe because I went back to work, maybe because my son grew and now I can play with him and do different activities or maybe I just got used to my new life. Hang on and don't forget to treat yourself and think about your needs🤗

No I was on zoloft for years prior to this baby. It stopped working, they've tried prozac, wellbutrin, and a few others first.

What you’re dealing with sounds so familiar to me. This feeling of “what’s the point?” was the feeling of my entire day. I don’t have any experience with pristiq. Was it the first drug that’s been prescribed to you?

I have ppd as well and have the same symptoms I’m so sorry you are going through that 🥺
