I went from a 75 on the PPD test to 18! The Prozac has done absolute wonders for me. My family is happier and I am happier. The side effects were hard at first but are basically gone now. Just wanted to share a success story! I'll keep you updated and thanks for everyone's support!

I'm so glad you are feeling better.

[Lucky Charm]

Me too.
Ek, can you pm me your side effects? (or you can post them here). i cant get that quiz out of my mind, and my score. i need to go see my nurse practitioner.

Well, the first week I was really tired. Like you feel when you're first pregnant. I also had a loss of appetite (not a bad thing!), sweating, occasional nervousness, things like that. Nothing too severe and it was worth it! If you go to www.prozac.com it will explain the possible side effects in more detail. I had basically every one there but they are pretty much gone now!

[Elphaba]

what is this test you speak of and where do i find it?

[journeymom]

Shoshanna's mom, see the sticky at the top of the threads, Postpartum Help. It has an evaluation test.

Amy, I'm so glad you are feeling so good. I've been doing great lately and am so looking forward to actually ENJOYING this spring and summer since I was so miserable last year. Isn't it funny how we can be so anti-med until we see how much good they do. This is one instance where I think the meds have made all the difference for me.

Yay for you! Glad to hear it, honey.
