PPD meds

[birdmom]

I was diagnosed with post partum depression when DS was 5 months old (he is 16 months now). I was prescribed Celexa and it took a bit, but I finally started to feel normal again. I am still taking it, mostly because I am afraid to stop. I'm going to have to see my doctor soon because I will need a refill.

I am not opposed to trying to wean off of it, but I kind of feel like I might still need it. Every now and then, I get these really anxious feelings where I can't calm myself down. Any number of things can set this off. Work, arguing with my husband, just being overwhelmed in general. I start thinking about something and come up with the worst case scenario and it just manifests itself from there.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I did not have depression or anxiety issues before I gave birth. Should I discuss this with my doctor? Opinions, please?
