St John’s wart is good for that I’ve heard but never tried personally.
I’m a Lexapro mama and proud
Zoloft 50mg has been working for me for several years. Weight gain but not super crazy, I'm 150, and it's stayed stable there for a long time and my height makes that overweight but I'm hoping since I'm off birth crontol, after baby is born I will lose the weight. I will try a non hormonal option for BC but I need my zoloft.
I’m taking magnesium glycinate 240mg and it helps depression anxiety and give me energy as well helps me sleep
I'm on escitalopram (lexapro) and don't get any side effects, but I have on different meds in the past when not pregnant. St John's wort works really well for some people but I would still check with your midwife and doctor even though it's herbal as I've been told its just as strong (and check if it's safe in pregnancy).
I've been a Zoloft user for years now, I've tried many others, but this one worked the best and had the least side effects for me. Every body reacts differently to anti anxiety and depression medicine and sometimes it takes a few tries to get the type and dosage right. It has made a HUGE difference in my life being on the proper medication. I do still have to exercise, get sunlight, drink water, and socialize to be fully happy and productive, but the meds keep the dark thoughts at bay so I can live my life.
Quite a few meds. As for natural supplements- I like Ashwaganda+GABA
@Shawna do you have any negative side effects from it?
I was on celexa for 7 years and loved it until my body stopped responding to it. I currently take Zoloft but it is giving me diarrhea so I need to change it. I also take buspirone and hydroxyzine for anxiety.
Yes I'm on Prozac, Lamictal, and waiting for my new medicine that I have to drug test for which is Focalin
@Alyssa sorry I just saw this .. I haven’t had side effects from it until I started taking prenatal with it and I think the two together caused me to get alittle dizzy at the end of the night when I was sleepy so you shud check with your dr before taking anything
@Alyssa I take the prenatal to help with pmdd another issue I have
Vitamin B6 is what aim taking for depression. Don’t know if it works but that’s what my family said to take
