Birth Control
"I opted to start depo after giving birth to my first born. Prior to taking it, I was having problems with anxiety and infrequent panic attacks following his birth; as, I assume, many new mothers do. Following the injection was one of the worst bouts of depression I have ever experienced in my life. I went to several psychiatrists as well as my gp, seeking treatment. Because I am breastfeeding there was not but so many medicines they could try. Celexa made me hallucinate, and a week or so into Zoloft I experienced a panic attack that I couldn&#039;t calm down from. I began smoking again to cope. We&#039;re a low income family, and I couldn&#039;t afford to keep going to the doctor. I eventually gave up. The injection wore off, and the depression did too."
