I have Post-partum depression. Am on Zoloft and still not sleeping at night?? help?
My baby just turned 4 months old. In the beginning I was so tired from him wanting to be fed every 2 hours... so I would nap durring the day while my mom watched him... this allowed me to have enough energy to stay awake until 3 or 4 am, and it was easier for me to stay up at night to feed him every 2 hours... then my mom would watch him a little in the morning so I could sleep in til like 8 or 9 am... as the weeks went on and months went on... my baby sleeps all through the night... but I cant??? I am still staying up to 4 or even 5 or 6 am... I should also mention that I did develop Post Partum depression and anxiety about 1 month after he was born... so I started on Zoloft 50 mg roughly eight weeks ago... it has helped alot with my mood... i feel happier and I dont cry anymore... but I am still very tired because I cant sleep at night... then I cant get up in the morning... thankfully my mom watches him for a few hours in the morning til I wake up... no matter what I do to try to get to bed at a decent hour (say 10 pm), it just never happens... I dont know if its because of my anxiety keeping me awake... or is it because of the Zoloft... I tried taking it in the morning... and also at night... but I dont notice a difference... I still dont go to sleep til 4 or even 5 AM... I was never like this before... I wanna be able to fall asleep around 10 or 11 PM so that I could get up at 7 Am with my baby... Anyone else ever have this problem on zoloft? or anyone who's not depressed, did you find this problem after you had a baby?
