hi
i'm a female. the real bad anxiety attacks started during my pregnancy, and never ended after my son was born (it's been 3 mths)my doctor is treating me for postpartum deppression (effexor) but i don't see how it can be postpartum if it was there before and during. oh well they got the degree right.
the only thing i take is the effexor, (also yasmin for birth control)i had some ativan for when i switched from celexa to effexor. they told me to take 1/2 to 1 i tried that i ended up taking two and no help at all, it did nothing. i don't have any night sweats but i do have alot of insomnia if i don't take ambien. it's like the only way i can fall asleep. any advice would be great
Thnx
