Do you suffer from Depression?

wow, busy thread.....I've read almost every post....

I have suffered from post-natal depression with 3 of 4 of my children....the first time, not even knowing it for 2 years...it was hell. For my next child they preemptively put me on zoloft at 7 months pregnant. For my last child I refused preemptive medication and started on effexor as soon as she was born.

I do know that post-natal depression is VERY real....at least it is for me. My hormones have wreaked havok on me since puberty and damned if they won't let up now....I just can't wait for menopause....that's all I've got to say.
