More on depression...

Carlina was prescribed lexapro today by her nurse practitioner. Since she is losing practically 2.5 weeks out of the month to pms, depression and anxiety, I am so hopeful that this will make a difference for her. The nurse also said that she would be more prone to ppd and depression as an adult...well, duh?!! I will not hesitate to go back on something if ppd rears its ugly head this time. It takes so long for those medications to begin to work, you can't wait a minute for something that takes 4-6 weeks to begin working. 24 hours after birth is when I feel totally devoid of those good hormones that kept me going for 9 months. It's too bad they can't hang on a bit longer....maybe 3 months until that 4th trimester ends.
