Another newbie

Hiya

I'm 43 with a 8yrs old and 6yrs old and am pretty depressed - I was diagnosed with PND when my 6yrs old was a baby and took Prozac for a few months, but hated the detached feeling so have stuggled on since.

My depression is also very hormonal, tried homeopathy all last year but although it appeared to work it was a bit hit and miss and very expensive... went back to doctor and was given the pill....

As its been 6 yrs I guess its no longer PND just plain D....but at the moment I am so down and can't make decisions and don't go to bed early and spend far too much time 'surfing' (so why am I joining another forum??)

Anyway, hoping for a bit of support and maybe some advice, and hoping to help others along the way.

Hi and welcome

I had Prozac as well - initially for PND which then turned into depression and it did work quite well for me - how long did you take it for?

Other than homeopathy have you tried anything else?

Look forward to chatting

Hi there and welcome. I was on prozac which was fine for my depression but had other side effects. My Dr has put me on something else now, is it worth you talking to your Dr about trying an alternative Anti-D ? I have been trying to struggle on but it has caught up with me and I still need the tablets to have some sort of normality in my life.
