Experiences of antidepressants for pnd and emetophobia

Hi all, just that really - 9 weeks pp with baby 2 and the pnd is rearing it's head again. Had it with dc1 but refused meds and had therapy - eventually felt better about 2 years pp. This time I don't want to drag it out, I've told my HV who has referred to perinatal MH but no response as yet.

I'm considering anti depressants - I have also got emetophobia which has (suprise suprise) been very hard to manage with a toddler in nursery and is now feeling even harder with a newborn to consider. I'm breastfeeding so a little worried about impact of antidepressants on that? Aiming to go to 6 months max but I suppose could wind down earlier if recommended.

I'm looking for any experiences where antidepressants (which ones?) helped with pnd/pna and/or emetophobia?

Hopefully bump. Baby has posseted more than typically does today so I'm spiraling that she's unwell whereas she just assumes it's because she's recently started drooling and/or milk consumption is changing constantly at this age. I definitely need help, of some description.
