A member asked:
I asked to be on an antidepressant for postpartum depression but the 50 mg zoloft (sertraline) is making me feel more sad and out of it. will this go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try another drug: People differ in their responses to antidepressant meds, and you may do better on a different SSRI medication. Ask your doctor to try a different one. If you are breastfeeding, this drug is compatible. Make sure any other drug is OK for you. Often talking with a professional is more effective for depression, consider CBT psychotherapy with an experienced psychologist. Look for support groups.
