Hi Diane,
Interesting and troubling symptoms. Try this link and also do a search for
oxytocin and depression.
http://www.oxytocin.org/oxytoc/
Some of the authors are from Cornell and some in California.
What I found interesting is that oxytocin is associated with less feelings
of depression, but maybe these affected women are experiencing a *drop* in
oxytocin once the MER occurs. Or maybe some receptor is amiss and not
processing things right. Also the above link found a correlation with other
interpersonal relationships, handling stress, etc and how oxytocin had an
effect on an individual. I would bet these authors would be interested in
these symptoms in lactating women.
