a true natural remedy? - Page 33

post #641 of 643
Hi Mammas....

This thread is awesome!

My DS is now almost 9 months old and I am getting honest with myself that I probably have some mild to moderate PPD. I am going to dust off my copy of the Mood Cure and read it cover to cover again! (I think I bought it 4 years ago or something....) The problem (and good thing, of coruse) is that I am a nursing momma....so I want to be very careful with anything I take.......

But, my question is....did anyone else feel great when pregnant (a few mood swings- but not too bad!)? Honestly, it was the best I ever felt as far as my mood goes (and my DH agreed!)....so clearly I have a hormonal issue going on (and always have.....tough times with PMS for sure!). I am hoping the aminos, etc. will balance my hormones as well as the neurotransmitters? I suppose they are all connected....so perhaps?

BUMPING this great thread!

post #643 of 643
Bumping up an old thread. I ordered Rainbow Light Prenatals, Vitex, GABA, St John's Wort, Chlorella, and a new fish oil PlusEPA. Would EPO be overkill? I have dreadful anxiety, OCD, and PPD. I need to do something. If I take Vit D I bruise like crazy, so that's one thing I can't take. But I'm also breastfeeding, so I'm less sure if Inositol or Tryptophan would be ok. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! redface.gif
