tablets or not?

[MrsMiggins]

Hi...been wanting to post for ages but feel so stupid. Finally rang HV today & burst into tears on phone - she practically came straight round. I have 2 children (1 under 12 mths & over 3yrs) Been feeling like this since Christmas. I cry at the drop of a hat; I find it a struggle to get motivated; DH works away all week or comes home late at night so no help with the kids. etc etc. HV and GP say I have PND. Should I take the AD? DH is now worrying that his lack of being around during the week is the cause but not practical to move at the moment. I'm scared to take AD as you read that they are adictive. only plus is I'll have to stop drinking wont I so I will lose some weight.

Hi MrsMiggins
I was diagnosed with depression last oct was the same cried all the time, wished i wasnt here,id just moved to a foriegn country, had had to give up my career and was suddenly married at home with three kids in a strange envrionment felt like my whole world had ended!! Anyway i managed to pluck up courage to see doctor where i just sat and sobbed for about half an hour, he put me on some tablets called cipramill, i now feel so much better they just gave me that bit of lift to get on with my life. Hopefully after this month i can come off them!!

Hope you are ok!!
