Problem: Four and a half years ago, after my second child, I was diagnosed with post-partum depression and given some medication they said wouldn't affect my baby. It made me feel loopy and I was convinced it was affecting my daughter, too.
What I Did: I started looking on line and found a website that introduced me to Homeopathic Remedies for Depression. It was a lot like this one : http://treatingdepressionhelp.com/homeopathic-remedies-for-depression
I took this list to the midwife and she recommended I try Ignatia Amara because that seemed to work for a lot of people. I went to a local health food store and got some. I discovered the suggested dose still made me a little loopy. I reduced it to one or two pellets (of 6 c) and felt a lift in my spirits without the loopiness.
Additional Notes: The little pellets taste like candy and the little container lasted me about 4 years because after a while I wasn't even taking them everyday - only when I felt especially irritable or low.
