Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any advice but basically I've had PND since a few weeks after my DD was born (she is now 1yr). I first was put on Sertraline and when this didn't work it was steadily increased until I was on the max dose, however this made me really agitated and I felt worse l, sucididal and like impulsive etc (and each increase I gave the meds 4-6 weeks to see if it would work). I was referred to the perimental health team who swapped me onto Mirtazipine and then later Risperidone was added in. At first the Mirtazipine seemed like it was helping I had more energy etc but each time that feeling doesn't last more than a couple of weeks and I'm now on max dose of Mirtazipine and a high dose of Risperidone. I have talked to my GP as it is not helping I am feeling really low and hopeless every day and finding everything overwhelming and difficult. She has contacted the mental health team for advice for what to try next as I am breastfeeding the options are limited, and also some drugs cannot be given until Risperidone has been out of my system for a while. But now I'm just stuck in a limbo waiting and just feeling awful and I now feel a bit hopeless that medication will help me. I guess I was wondering if anyone on here has found antidepressants didn't work for them, or it took a few tries to find the right one? Really don't want to keep feeling like this it is so hard to go on 😟
