I have recently went on lexapro for postpartum depression. I'm so disappointed to be back on meds. How long were some of you on meds for this? I have been off meds for two years, found that therapy worked to control my OCD for the most part. This time, it is definetly depression so meds might be necessary to get out of it? My other issue is waking up in the middle of the night at 1 or 2 am and not being able to get back to sleep. I have tried the breathing/relaxtion technique and it hasn't yet done the trick. So I have been popping some benadryl to get back to sleep which works but then I wake up so so sleepy. Anyone have advice for waking up in the middle of the night to get back to sleep? I am not wanting to go down this road again...especially since we want more kids sooner than later. I'm so disappointed.
