Hi, All,
I'm just wondering if anyone else gets depressed from narcotics or has gotten depressed while on narcotics in the past. My LO is now 10 months old, but when I think back to the first six weeks, I feel awful. (I mean, I think I'm at peace with it, but if I ever have another baby, I want to try for things to go better.)
I honestly think what seemed like PPD was how I react to narcotics. I was on vicodin for a surgery before and remember just crying all day, every day... Did anyone feel like this on percocet after their c-section?
I don't know if I'll have another LO; if I do, it will be a few years from now, but lately I've been wondering if it wasn't the narcotics coupled with just giving birth, hormones, etc., that made my first six weeks post-partum such a rough time.
Thanks for anything you share!
