You can become almost immune to the current dose that you are on. If you speak with your doctor, he/she may want to increase it to 90mg or 120mg. It is definitely a good medication (for a lot of folks), but you may also want to try Lexapro or another Rx too.
Good luck!

I think that you definately need to get some help, for the sake of your mental health and your daughter. The first place to start would be to go to your doctors, you could be refferrd for counselling, support groups or even medication. There may also be online support groups you could look into. One thing I would ask you to remember, is how you felt about your Dad. Did he make you feel loved, secure and safe? Was he there for you, putting you frist? Was he a hero that you could admire and look upto? I think the best thing you could do for your dad is to give what he gave you to your daughter. One of the most awfull things with depression is you can often get an overwhelming feeling of guilt. This can also be a side affect from smoking too much cannabis aswell. Often, the guilt is justified, but I would urge you not to do anything that is going to torment you afterwards. I really do feel for you, as it so hard with a small baby. Do you have a good support network? Father of the child, or other family members? You know, I would really like to hear how you do get on. I wish you all the best.

If your meds aren't working you defintly need to talk to your dr. Let them know how you've been feeling, and your feelings about upping the dose. There could be another medication that he/she can put you on. I don't get why you don't want it upped though. Apparently it was working before, so if a higher dose will help like before, why not? Depression is a scary place, and there is no use suffering from it if you do not have to.
