I've had it for five months now and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Does it go away or turn into something else?

I have five kids between 10 yrs and 5 months. Im on prozac, but there are days that it just seems like everything is all wrong. More bad days than good, and my doctor actually upped my dose about 6 weeks ago. Do I need it upped again, or do I need to try something else? Life sucks living like this.

Yes, you can. However, if you're still feeling that down and miserable, I would return to the doctor. Some antidepressants don't work for some people. Your dr. may try increasing the dose, first. Make sure you keep in constant contact with him/her until you're feeling better. PPD can cause terrible things, and thoughts. Keep working at it!

regrettably melancholy is a persistent and recurrent illness, and regrettably the greater timesyou relapse, the lots greater in all probability that's which you will relapse returned. I assume frankly which you already be conscious of as most of the 'so referred to as' solutions that are attainable....i do no longer think of everyone has the final conclusive answer, in the event that they did that they had be a millionaire by utilising now!!! All you're able to do is do your maximum suitable to maintain as mentally healthful as conceivable and dodge or shrink as many relapses as conceivable. The methods of doing this are (curiously): ingesting nicely (solid meals, stay faraway from alcohol (that's a depressant) or caffeine (it will develop stress)), generic exercising ideally contained in the clean air, meditation, doing 'helpful issues' and staying faraway from those that 'carry you down', installation a solid sleep recurring (comparable time going to mattress each and every evening and getting up each and every morning) and counselling to return to a decision any 'subjects' you will have hidden on your strategies. in case you sense drugs helps then proceed with that, undertaking to the suggestion of your GP/psychiatrist. that's significant which you reside on the meds until eventually somewhat a protracted time after the depressive episode is over...do no longer come off too on the instant or too early, or you will basically relapse returned. that's in all probability the main situation-free mistake that each and every physique makes. i'm sorry i've got not got the respond you're searching for, yet as I mentioned earlier, regrettably i do no longer think of that answer unquestionably exists (yet!) take care

Sounds like you experienced post partum depression. This is a clinical diagnosis and tends to resolve itself within 3 month of delivery. But in some patients cases it can take up to 6 months depending on psychosocial factors. The depression should resolve on its own, but if you need help please seek out counseling. Another option would be to setup a doctor's appointment and convey your problems and thoughts. If you are a candidate for selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) then he can write you a prescription. SSRIs have been show to help women get over postpartum depression.
