It's become a worse ending than I'd thought!

I went off Lexapro after about 8 months on it for post partum depression...which was bad. I felt like myself on it and was scared to go off, but knew I'd have to face it someday. So I slowly went off and at my last appt to recheck how I was doing, she thinks we made a good choice. I know this dr. in the professional world (that affects her directly) so I've put up a sort of front and fake smile. I didn't feel totally awesome off the Lexapro, but in the last few weeks, I've gone downhill. I am almost to where I was when I went on it. I can be honest with her, but I try to look better because of our work relationship outside of her office. Please help...what do I do?

Lovely be honest with yourself, your the only one suffering, your dr wouldnt think any less of you if you told her you wasnt ready to come off your tablets yet. and things wont get any better until you open up and tell her. depression is the worst thing ever and i empathise with you, if i was you i would get back to the docs and talk. take care

You know what, if you need help and cant ask that dr, go to another dr! Get the help you need and deserve!
Good luck!

Well, we're going to try Wellbutrin now with Klonapin before bed to help me sleep...I actually couldn't shutup when I met with her...which is great because I opened up! I guess I knew I needed to do it...Thanks for thinking of me...PPD is no fun...but almost 11 months later, I'm scared it may have set me up for lifelong problems...not sure how depression works...Any Wellbutrin experiences? Thanks!
