postpartum depression
"I was diagnosed with postpartum depression after the birth of my 3rd son. I'm on venlafaxine for the 2nd time. The 1st time I disliked it because it seemed to have weird side effects. Now, I'm almost 3 weeks into it and I feel like a million bucks! My depersonalization seems to be so much better, my mood is better, I'm playing with my kids more than I have been. Starting to care about myself, have motivation to workout, more patient and able to handle my kids again! Venlafaxine gave me my life back. Not looking forward to tapering but that's a long way down the road. But I've found taking it at night is the best. I don't seem to have any side effects beside weight loss but who is going to hate that!"
