[quote=Anonymous]I had antepartum depressiona and took zoloft for it.  I now have a 5 month old and almost EBF her.  I can't tell you about the long term effects but I can say that she has met all her physical and developmental milestones early.  She bables, has good motor coordination for her age, is curious, I dare say she's perfect.  She is in the 90th percentiles for height and weight.

As for the impact on your work, you might feel a little tired at first when the medication is taking effect.  I also have a high intensity job and found the zoloft really helped me get a grip when I needed it.  I was so much less sensitive about things, I didn't dwell on bad things.  The medication really helped me get over a big hump and I really attribute the fac that I didn't suffer from post partum depression to the fact that I got this medication during my pregnancy.

One poster said you should stop breast feeding but there is evidence that breast feeding can actually help boost your mood.  Also I have heard that stopping breast feeding can really have a negative impact on your mood so be careful with that advice.

One of my colleagues remarked at how I seemed to be doing so well with my transition back to work and that I seemed really happy with my new life.  I know that there is a lot that is making me happy but I also know the medication has really helped take the edge off everything.

I don't plan on taking this forever but I do plan on taking it through DD's first year. [/quote]
