PPD

Anyone else have PPD? Medication started a week ago and doesn’t seem to be helping. How long does it normally take? I have a follow up appointment in 2 weeks. Just had hoped I would feel better.

Hi there! I have PPD and PPA (a lovely mix haha) and when I started medication it took about 6 weeks. It needs time to build up in your system and start taking effect. “They” say it takes anywhere from 4-8 weeks to start taking effect. I’m so sorry you’re going through this and wish things worked faster!

Meds can take a few weeks to see results because you need to build up a consistent level in your bloodstream. I'm sorry you're struggling, hope you feel better quickly!

I have PPA, it takes about 2 weeks after finding the right dosage for the meds to work.

I don’t think I’m depressed but I sure am sad sometimes and my emotions are up and down

Thank you ladies. I’m trying my best to cope. This is my second baby so it’s hard feeling this way around my first.

This is my second child after 9 years and I don’t remember being so sad

I don’t have PPD (at least I don’t think I do 👀) but I have been on mental health meds before and it’s suggested to give it at least a month so your body can fully adapt to them. 🙂
