Post natal anxiety - medication?

[BlackSquare]

Has anyone treated their post natal anxiety successfully with medication? If so what helped? I’m 9 months post birth now and still feel so worried about everything. Way more than any other mums I’ve encountered. I’m utterly exhausted by it and it’s taking up mental space I want to be able to use to enjoy my time with my baby. I know why I’m feeling like this (years of fertility treatments and recurrent miscarriage etc) but thought it might get better as time went on. It isn’t - any time one set of worries fades a bit a new lot take over! Any experiences would be really welcomed, tia.

Hi you sound very similar to me. Mine health anxiety started after having my kids but I think it began because I also had lots of miscarriages and fertility treatment. I went on meds about 2 years ago for it and it really helped. I have been off them for a good year and a half but lately my anxiety has gotten on top of me again so am just on day 3 of starting meds again and hoping they help me again like last time. Xx

Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry you had a tough time ttc too Can I ask what meds you’re on? I hope they help and that things feel a bit better soon.

Hi yer am on sertraline. Its the same one I went on last time and found it helped so hoping the same this time. I have had some counselling in the past aswell which helped a little . Hope your OK x
