Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am a 38 yr old woman and recently gave birth to my second child. She is 13 weeks old now. I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression about 5 weeks ago and have been taking Diazapam (which I have now stopped) and the anti depressant most often prescribed (Floxidate or similar name). In the last 2 weeks my scalp has become itchy all over but mostly the back area and around my neck. I am also sweating on my face all of a sudden for no reason. My GP has done blood tests and apart from low iron levels (i'm taking a multi vitamin with iron now) he can't find any other problem. Do you think it's just my hormones settling down or the medication I am taking? Please help.

Suggest Treatment For Depression After Delivary
hiii dear dont worry postpartum depression has good prognosis no need of diazepam if you sleep is ok it is only require if u have marked sleep problems tab escitalopram is the choice among all it is safest and faster onset of action the side effect problem is very less with this itching is part of any other problems better to shift fluoxetine to escitalopram and still have problem after that than consult psychiatrist also get well soon thank you
