Find an expert: Not familiar w/ Perth, but in Sydney, some therapists specialize in PPD and it's really good to minimize medications as a new mother. Many find this time difficult emotionally and the various demands on you are huge! Seek an experienced therapist and it will really help - your OBGYN may have referral lists. Pristiq's main side effect is insomnia/fatigue. Your dose is 3X usual w/out known benefit.
