I am happy to say that I am married with two children.  They are both great kids and we are so blessed to have them.  Though our first child was an easy experience, when we had the second one it was completely different.

You see, after the birth of my daughter, my wife ended up with postpartum depression.  I don’t know if you have ever lived with someone that is depressed, but it was tough.  All she wanted to do was sleep, and when she was awake, she was not the same woman I married - she was very different.

In an attempt to fight the depression, we were prescribed generic Zoloft.  I picked it up at the pharmacy (which was a welcome break) and returned home.  She tried it out for a couple of weeks, but it seemed to be ineffective on her.

So back to the doctor we went.  The second time around we were told to buy Paxil and give it a try.  Another couple of weeks went by and she made some remarkable improvements.  Things seemed to be going along a lot better for her, but not so much for me.

I made a special trip to the doctor and found out that I was depressed too.  Seems that living with a woman with postpartum depression was not so good for me, and I ended up needing medication as well.  When I was given my prescription, I went home to order Prozac online - I didn’t want her to know.

Thankfully, about six months later, our depression was gone and we were able to discontinue using the medication.  At least now we know what signs we should be looking for when we have our next baby - if we notice any signs of depression we will be off to the doctor right away.
