I am the mom of a wonderful 19 mos old and had postpartum depression.
     The antidepressant, zoloft, was truly a life saver.  But because the
     fact that my post partum depression manifested itself primarily
     anxiety regarding her health and that the long term effects of the med
     were unknown, I chose to wean her.  Continuing in my grief process
     over that, but with the recognition that I did what I thought at the
     time was the best for both of us.  Another word of support for those
     moms going through a similar post partum, I found the support of
     Pacific Post Partum Support Society to be of immeasurable value and a
     group that is very respectful and supportive of mothers, and
     breastfeeding I would suggest peer support.
