Well to start, despite what I put here I do love my fiancé with all of my heart. We have been together for three years this September and I hope for many years. Right before we were together for a year we found out that I was pregnant, it was unplanned so we were happy and yet scared of what will happen. During the nine months I had to be put on Prozac for depression, I stopped using it the closer I got to my due date. After our son was born I was having problems again dealing with the depression so I was put back on Prozac and I stopped using it a few months later. Now that it has been a year since our handsome son was born I feel that I am slipping back into the cracks and I don't really want to take Prozac again but I don't know of any way of getting out of it. I have a job, yeah at times it sucks but whose job doesn't at some point. I have my own place and I take care of the bills and such. My fiancé, Jarrod, is a stay at home dad and watches our son, he helps around the apartment a little bit. Yeah it would be nice if he got a job but I'm not pressing the subject for it helps us out by not getting a babysitter. So why am I falling fast again into something that makes my fiancé and me miserable? I don't want to put our son into this mess, so what should I do?

Well you have started the battle noticing that you are slipping is one but you need to realize also that you are a lot more likely to back slid w/ depression if you just stop taking and don't listen to the doctors trust me on this one from experience. Last year about this time I was hopsitalized about 4 times for depression. I take zoloft and effexor xr and xanax I have anxiety to. Do you just not like taking meds or don't like the way prozac makes you feel because there are many antidepressants to try? Talking about it helps so you need to do that also let the people around you help you though this time
