"I was prescribed Zoloft for postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD of contamination. I took 10 mg of Zoloft for two weeks only as it was ineffective for me. I experienced no side effects, which was the only upside. All medications work differently for different people. I experienced postpartum depression and anxiety only one month after my first and only son was born. As a first-time mom, I thought everything I was experiencing was typical until I began having suicidal thoughts and resorted to self-harm, all taking a toll on my relationship with my son and husband. I waited until my son was 10 months old to finally get help. I felt severe anxiety still while taking Zoloft. Again, this is only my experience with this medication."

"As well as having Borderline Personality Disorder, I have had severe postpartum depression. I have found Zoloft to be very helpful in regulating my moods and keeping the demons at bay. Happy trails."

"I love it. I had gotten postpartum depression, it's helped me enjoy my baby. The only side effect I have is it takes longer to reach orgasm and a little weight gain, but not bad."

"I got PPD so bad I was borderline postpartum psychosis. Zoloft and imipramine (which helped me to quit crying) helped me. My son is 22 years old, and anytime I try to quit one, my stomach hurts and I can’t quit crying. I continued Zoloft while pregnant with my daughter five years later. I had to quit imipramine when I found out until I was 12 weeks pregnant. I went to see a counselor during that time because I was starting to cry all the time again. Granted, I have to say I was put on Accutane at the same time."
