Granted, there has only been one study, but Dr Thomas Hale (you know, the Medications And Mother's Milk author) says Zoloft is the one to take. And I trust him.<BR/><BR/>If you want to try fish oil first, then by all means DO. But don't be afraid of the Zoloft for Port's sake. It's still better to give him the milk while taking the meds than to give up and just give formula (not that you were planning to do that anyway).<BR/><BR/>I hope you feel better soon - I started the zoloft before I left the hospital this time and I'm feeling really good.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306636563912007809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-10705052866282271322008-05-19T09:09:00.000-05:002008-05-19T09:09:00.000-05:00I'm glad you had a better day!

I hope there are many more around the corner for ya.<BR/><BR/>Now, I wanted to comment on the Zoloft decision...from someone who's been there. <BR/><BR/>I struggled for a long time not wanting to 'give' in to the drug and allow myself to be just another one of those people on antidepressants, and I have to say, I wish I would have given in sooner. You're going through a lot right now, and of course you should expect some irregularities in your moods, but if you find yourself not able to clear the fog you might be dealing with a chemical imbalance that NEEDS more than positive self talk. I just don't want to see you suffer the way I did, when there is a way out. Ok, I suppose that's enough personal information for this comment. Email me if you need to talk...for the life of me I cannot find your email address.Jamielouwhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344342689016059509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-40724236408137704582008-05-18T16:44:00.000-05:002008-05-18T16:44:00.000-05:00I deleted my comment because I felt like, if you'r...I deleted my comment because I felt like, if you're committed to pumping then it's really not supportive of me to help talk you out of it and it seemed like everything I could think of to say was not supportive.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is whether you're wallowing or not, you DO have a lot going on right now and your mood swings and depression are completely normal and understandable. And as your friend, my main thought is how can you get out of that as quickly as possible? To me, it seems like uncomplicating your life is the answer and I immediately think of the pumping situation because that is mostly what you've been complaining about.<BR/><BR/>But that's NOT what you want so it just seemed useless for me to go on about it. I totally understand how you feel about it and I want to be supportive of whatever YOU think is best for you and your family. I'm not there, I really don't have a word to say.<BR/><BR/>Except that I feel your pain when you post about how dismal things have been and I wish I could help you better than leaving some lame comment.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm sure things will get better and better for all of you.<BR/><BR/>I agree that letting things go is a big part of the answer. Not allowing yourself to feel guilt is another one. You're a fantastic mommy. Don't doubt it for an instant. Not everyday can be perfect, it isn't for anyone. Try to keep your expectations realistic and just relax and enjoy. You deserve it.TitanKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805861421713635384noreply@blogger.com
