So I just had a baby three months ago and according to my therapist I may have post-partum. Went to the doctor and filled a depression questionnaire, I told her I have trouble sleeping and asked for something to sleep, she prescribed 20 mg of Prozac at night and I thought it was a sleeping pill but I did my research and turns out that it’s not.
Long story short, since taking the meds I’ve had even more trouble sleeping at night, I wake up every 30 min or every hour wet in sweat, staggering to get to the bathroom, it’s became difficult to feed my baby because I feel super heavy and unable to do things. During the day I’m sleepy, with headache and I’m barely eating, which is necessary to produce milk. I don’t feel I can take proper care of my baby feeling like this. Are these side effects normal? I never get side effects from any medication, but I’ve never been on anti-depressants either.
Could it be that this med is not for me? I was feeling way more energetic before taking it. I’m thinking about stopping but also I’d like to give it a try for a couple of weeks to wait for the final result. I don’t know what to do, I’m confused. Any thoughts, comments or advice?
