Anxiety / Depression...sneaking back up on me..
Just when I thought things were getting better. I am still taking Zoloft 100mg (I cut it back from 150mg bc I am TTC - and I want to event. get down to 50mg). Any natural remedies? I am also seeing a therapist (have been for a while). This stinks...

I think the medication/therapy combination is a good one. You might want to add yoga, meditation, massage, or accupuncture to help you destress. GL!

Have you tried working with a cognitive behavioral therapist?
They are psychologists who do not do psychoanalysis for the most part; their method of therapy is to teach you coping techniques such as breathing and visualization.
I worked with one in Manhattan for a while -- LOVED her.
It may sound like a lot of nonsense, but it really worked for me.

Jen - Welcome back from your trip!!! Hope you had a great time.
Have you considered accupuncture at all?
My BIL who is a chriopractor by trade, but does energy/crystal healing, told me to consider taking magnesium if my doctor will allow it. He said that's supposed to help with stress and anxiety. I can also ask him if he knows of anything else that's natural and won't interfere with TTC. He's extreamily knowledgeable when it comes to this type of stuff.

you'd be amazed how just breathing will help you tremendously. You learn to focus on it and do it even when you don't have anxiety/stress just do it several times a day.
