After weeks of sleeplessness and frazzled nerves I went in to see my regular physician, who diagnosed post partum depression. I don't
feel depressed, but some folks
do get positive (anxious) depression. Of course, I should have immediately suspected this with several years of psychiatric experience under my belt, I just couldn't see it. My doctor dosed me with sleep meds, lexapro and xanax. I'll have to check with the lactation consultant for continued breast feeding, since the sleep meds are contradictory.
