Hi, my ds is 6 weeks old. I cried nonstop at the 6 week check up last week over various things that have been going on and the Dr prescribed Prozac for PND.
I took the first one at about 10am yesterday. In between feeds at 3am & 5am last night, I heard very loud, clear chanting (dh was sleeping in the spare room and it sounded like he'd come in and started doing the haka v loudly, was scary), and had some very horrible images/thoughts running through my head, like scenes from a horror movie.
Throughout it I was trying to call out/scream to dh but couldn't make enough noise.
I think I was awake throughout all of this, or at least in a half awake/asleep state.
Is this a likely side effect of the medicine and is it likely to happen again?Also, is Prozac any good for anxiety? After having a couple of better days, I think I am more anxious when triggered by certain things rather than depressed. Not sure if it's all part and parcel of the same thing though.
