Im currently 22 weeks pregnant and have had depression and anxiety in the past. I’ve been off of medication for multiple years now and haven’t had any issues. My doctor thinks it’s a good idea to get back on medication to help prevent PPD. I was all for this, and started my medication 7 days ago. I have been throwing up and having terrible nausea. I called to tell my OB what’s been happening and they prescribed me nausea meds to help. They didn’t help at all… They switched my medication, but I’ve been scared to take the new meds due to the nausea. Should I just wait until the baby is born and get back on medication? I can’t go through another 4 weeks of terrible nausea and vomiting while maintaining a job during our busy season. I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t want PPD but also can’t afford to miss work due to nausea and me throwing up. Has anyone started antidepressants after birth instead of during? If so what was your experience? Has anyone had depression in the past and not gotten PPD?
