Post partnum is always a possability.However the unfortunate truth is most people who start meds,and stay on them a period of time have a lot of trouble staying of them,even after withdrawal.
Theres a few threads here on people who have either quiet meds,or want to,and its discussed how difficult it becomes.I hope for all our sake that these meds arent doing something to our brains that we havent discovered yet.
However it would not surprise me a bit,i know i cant get off meds,and having never been on a single drug till age 18,now 26,i know normaly i would have been able to stop if i wanted too.
I am personaly expecting sometime in the future for the truth to somehow come out that these drugs do effect our brains in a way not known,and comming off them for good is extremly difficult.
As for going alternative like st.johns wort.honestly a herb like st. johns is intentded to do the same thing as these drugs,manipulate brain chemicals,and while they may not have pharmicutical toxicity issues,they are potent pass to the brain,and herbs have their own side effects.
I think if ur gonna go the route of st johns which is nothing more than a ssri/moai drug in a herb form,you just poner going back on meds,try to speak to a doc about the mildest med u can get on that wont intrude ur preganacy.
Im not a big fan of all the different herbs,so many brands etc you never know what impurites are in it since u dont know where it was obtained,how it was processed etc.
Good luck.
