Success stories of postpartum anxiety

[Abcrecovery]

Hello, this is my first time on mumsnet. I have a 10 week old baby boy and i have been upped to a dose of 225mg venaflaxin and I'm on 125mg of qutiapine. I did start to see an improvemnet but the last week has been unbareavle with anxiety. Is it normal to go up and down? I'm so scared i qont comw through this. I am under the Perinatal team. Please give me hope.

Hello OP. I would raise these concerns with your GP, or whoever is prescribing you at the perinatal clinic. As a general rule, antidepressants and antipsychotics can take several weeks to see an effect and some patients do go through highs and lows as their bodies adjust.

Thank you for your message, i am going to have a chat with the psychiatrist when i next see him x
