Since Sunday I've been feeling very up and down with depression. Only taking 5 mg because of pregnany. I'm 30 weeks and I'm not sure if it's the hormones but I'm so depressed and just want to cry. Have I hit a block, do I need to change meds? Up them? I'm so worried ppdmaking it severely worse after baby.

    I am feeling the same way, Nicole. I was doing pretty well. Leveling out with depression and anxiety no big ups or downs and not really happy, just kind of there. The last three days I have had anxiety and crying like I haven't had for 2-3 mo.

      I'm the same way! I'm having bad intrusive thoughts again the last couple days and I feel like just laying and crying. How long have you been on them? I don't know if I just need to go ahead and up but I don't want it to make it worse. The 2nd of October will be 7 months sad

      I'm not sure either but I can't stand these thoughts and I can't have the baby feeling like this. I'm going to up mine tonight. Prayers I don't get worse.

      I did forget to take my meds. on one day, but I don't think it would have had that kind of effect on me because of the long half-life of flouxetine. I will be praying. Let me know how you are feeling.
