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?

Answer:
Yes I had sleeping problems after I had my son, my sister-in-law and brother have disturbed sleep as well with their kids, and a neighbour is also having problems sleeping with his baby crying at odd times at night. I suggest that you see your doctor again let them know why you are feeling anxious and that you are not getting any sleep. Let them know that you tried to change the hours that you took Zoloft and whether you have increased or decreased the dosage.
