mall shopping & antidepressants

Shopping Mall on Sunday=every family in southeastern Wisconsin out with their adorable kids

I have an early morning therapy appointment tomorrow, and my therapist wants to talk about anti-depressants. She brought it up when I started seeing her almost a year ago, but at that time I decided against it. Since then there have definitely been times when I thought I totally didn't need them, but now is not one of those times. So, I think I am going to take her referral and see the psychiatrist and talk about it, and maybe give it a try. Anyone out there willing to share any experience with IF and antidepressants? I know my RE is supportive of it, so that is a good first step.

Job hunt update-found yet another job to apply for. It is at an all womens college, which hopefully means IF coverage. I will call their HR department tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice on the job hunt, I will not be saying anything about IF, treatments, etc. If/when I get a job, and need to say something I will, but not until then.

Hi, My name is Amy and I love to read your blog. I find a lot of the things you say I can relate to. My DH and I have been TTC for 2 years now. About 6 months ago I decided I needed to try something for depression, and it is the best thing I ever did. My MD put me on Zoloft 50 mg. I used to cry daily and now its very seldom. You should give it a try. It is well worth it. Good luck.

I haven't taken any anti-depressants with IF but I have taken them in the past and they make a huge difference and you don't have to be on them forever. Just an FYI though, it might take some time to find what drug works best for you so be patient.

GL!!

Hi Andrea,

Do you know I have been considering the same thing - taking antidepressants. I have never taken them before so I'm sorry I can't offer any advice.

I know it is important to keep exercising, socialising and doing enjoyable things. But this is easier said than done when facing IF.

Hang in there girl. If you want to email me my address is caroline79@live.com.au
