Postpartum depression

Hello - I am suffering from postpartum depression. I am irritable have anxiety about both of my children's sleep. I would never hurt my baby, but I have rage when I can't control the situation. I am moody, cry quite a bit and have been very short tempered. My doctor prescribed Zoloft, which I have not taken as I am weary of taking antidepressants. I am also breastfeeding. What can I do? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hello again. Thanks for the quick reply.

I think you should start treatment with a medicine called Ignatia. Begin with potence 200C. It may be that you need a higher potence later, so it may be practical to purchase both the 200C and 1M.

Once you have these remedies please contact me for an explanation of how to use them.

Regards; Dr.P

Can this affect my breastfeeding infant in any way?

Also, to clarify is this ignacia amara?
Zylbs11 7 years ago
No, only in a positive way, in that the child receives a calm and rested mother.

I had to special order the dosages and will have them tomorrow afternoon. How should I take it once I have it?
Zylbs11 7 years ago
Depends if there are pills, tablets, granules, liquid.
Parakletos 7 years ago
Boiron granules
Zylbs11 7 years ago
Okay, take 10 granules. Pour them into the lid to the container. Into the mouth, let them melt under your tongue before swallowing.
The medication must be taken at least half an hour before or after food. No coffee, caffeine. Or strong stuff, menthol, camphor.
After this wait 3-4 days. Please contact me after this. Or if something special happens.
Please ask if you have any questions.
