I've been tapering off my ADs in preparation for TTC (with my doctors help, not tapering on my own) and I'm feeling it. I was at a really good dosage and I can definitely feel the difference. I feel bad for J bc it makes me less fun and engaging and I get annoyed with him more easily. I haven't had a "great" day since I lowered the dose, whereas I was having really good days pretty often before I want another baby, but I want my meds too and none of these are safe for pregnancy.
Womp Womp. Sorry about being a Debbie downer.
Oh man, that really sucks. I'm sorry. I assume you've experimented with other options that are ok in pregnancy. I hope TTC is speedy for you and you can get back where you need to be asap. Big hugs.
Thanks sometimes I just feel like depression is so fucking unfair - it keeps me from being the person and the mother I want to be and I can't seem to change it. Blaaaaaah.

I'm sorry rjamz. Tapering off is the worst. Mine's more anxiety but I can completely relate to your statement re: it keeping you from being the mother you want to be.
I'm ADs for life I think. Fwiw, I'm on Zoloft for this pg and BFing and then switching back to Prozac when I wean. We just decided it was best to keep me on meds.
Violet was awful for the photos. I am so exhausted. I'm also crying.
ETA Ruby was like beyond perfect. If this was just a shoot with Ruby we would have had 500 photos and been done in 10 minutes.
Ugh I'm so sorry!! We usually always being my mom with us now for pictures so she can stand behind the photog and act stupid so Blake smiles because we used to go through the same thing. I totally get your frustration .

I think I'm on them for life also. We're considering switching me to safe meds once I'm off these, which I think I'll probably have to do.
We went out last night for SIL's birthday and I drank way too much and OMG I am so hungover today. I never drink more than one or two anymore and man I am feeling it. Thank God my h feels better than me and he's been keeping macy occupied while I lay in bed all day. It is so nice outside too I wish I felt better!
Sydney woke up and I thought she was going to flip out and be crazy, happy when DH walked into her room, so I took a video. He walked in and she said, "I was calling for Mommy." She finally got excited to see him, but she did not have the reaction that I was expecting.

I don't know if I'm just having a good day or if the zofran really did work, but I feel human! I just finished vacuuming my whole house. And I'm ready to tackle more stuff! Yay!!

I laughed because this would be Lincoln too! Poor Casey!
L fell asleep on the way to the pumpkin patch today from 10-1030, now he won't nap it's 130, I'm giving him until 2 to fall asleep and then I'm scratching it, we're meeting friends for boo at the zoo tonight and he'll be a mess w/o some sleep

H is 2 hours away at a band competition today. He won't be home until around 2am. I need to clean the house because my parents are coming this week, but I'm so tired. Right now it's nap time and I'm watching IT on tv

DH put together all the drawers for Madison's dresser for her big girl bedroom and him and FIL are going to assemble it tomorrow morning. I'm excited. Now I have to get another rod for her closet to put up so that we have enough space.
It seems like a beautiful day today and I want to take Madison out to play after her nap but I'm tired today.
I'm having a really rough day. I'm so sleep deprived and Violet just wants to nurse all day. I was hoping to nap while Owen did, but whenever I tried to put her down, even in the RnP she would reflux and wake up. Then her crying woke Owen up, so now he's grumpy.
I tried calling H for some moral support but he was just distracted and no help, so, I'm just crying.

Crap, I'm sorry. I hope your H is home soon so you can get a break.

nannerl I have done a little adjunct teaching at the community college down here off and on, don't know what kind of questions you have. The ems dept always runs a little different from the rest of the school but I may be able to help.
