Postnatal depression and missed antidepressants

[Poplartree1]

Hello everyone,
I suffer with postnatal depression and have been taking fluoxetine for around 6 weeks. I was starting to feel better then missed a few doses. Then I started feeling overwhelmed and like I didn't have time to take them anymore. Now I'm feeling really depressed. I'm at the point where I'm really struggling with basic daily tasks and wanting to just give up. I'm exhausted and sleep deprived too. I know I need to start them again but do you think I should take a double dose because I've gone 2 weeks without. Or should I ring the Dr. Or should I just start taking them properly again and stay in the house til I feel better. It's hard to know what to do for the best and I just want to be better right now! Thanks for any advice 😊

How many days have you missed? When you started them did you start on the same dose as you are meant to be on now? I wouldnt take a double dose. Just the usual dose or half a tablet today and a whole one tomorrow.
