are u self employed or work with a company?

those ads tabs arent supposed to make u worse as it either make you better or no difference.

one of my friends was on 20mg ads and had to be taken off them cos she was getting so freaked out.

Please contact your docs to ask to change the ads and to sign you off work

please go and see ya docs x

Go back to your GP. From memory, I think they take about a month to kick in, but the ones prescribed for you may not be pushing the right buttons. Feel for you, do make another appointment.

I was on AD's when ds2 was about 9 months old. I recall they did take a couple of weeks to "kick in" and they did make me feel lightheaded and nauseous for a while. It may be that the ones that you've been prescribed are not suitable and your GP should be able to switch you over to another brand. It's a difficult time, I fully empathise with you, but things will get better I promise. I can recommend a couple of books which really helped me and also dh understand about pnd:
Surviving Post Natal Depression
Eyes without Sparkle
Banishing the Blues
Your local library may well have them.
I hope this helps, hang in there.
