Zoloft & Ativan?

Went to the Doc today for my PPD - she gave me Zoloft & Ativan. Has any of you taken this combo for PPD?? So far I am not anxious, but I am totally sleep and mopey with a headache..... *sigh*

I didn't take it for PPD but I did take Zoloft for anxiety and dysthymia (low grade depression?) and Lorazepam (Ativan) for anxiety.    Lorazepam can definitely make you sleepy- I haven't taken it since I started TTC a few months ago, but I could only take about 1/4- 1/2 of a tablet at a time (not sure of strength of tablet off hand, maybe 0.5mg)

hope you get the relief you need.. take care

I haven't taken either one of those drugs alone or combined, I have taken different ones but not those. But when I was on prozax it takes two weeks to take full effect! Wishing you all the best of feeling happy you soon!!

Dawn,

I have never taken Zoloft, but I take Lexapro, and I know my doc told me it takes at least 2 weeks to get the full effect of the medication.  As far as the Ativan, it makes me VERY sleepy.  I have to break them in 2 and sometimes will even cut the half in half.  I usually take the half of a half...if I am not feeling better in an hour or so, then I take the other half.  I know you are really struggling, and I am so sorry for you.  Depression sucks and anxiety sucks worse...I know because I have both.  I have you in my thoughts and prayers that the Zoloft will take effect within the next couple of days and you will start getting some relief!
