Tissue salts

I think like the website says, every situation is different and some women might be fine with just taking a natural herbal supplement, however if the depression is more serious a more aggresive form of treatment might be better.

I can understand that you would like to connect with someone who were in your situation because taking anti-depressants needs a serious commitment because you can't just take it for a few days and then decide on something else, one needs to take it for a while to start experiencing benefits. And obviously sometimes medication has very unpleasant side-effects which won't be ideal at this moment.

I am not pregnant at the moment (but planning baby no.2), however strangely I felt the least depressed while pregnant with my first child (except for the first trimester! ). I struggled with mild PND and a few months of Eglynol was enough for me.

Whatever you decide, please look after yourself! xx

Hi there Gloeiwurmpie

Thank you for that post, I really appreciate it. Had a look at that sight and it really helped me shoo. I realise that it will probably be more important to take an anti-depressant than to carry on the way that I am. I just wish I knew of someone else that took this medication and felt the way that I do...

Are you pregnant at the moment?

Hi Calla,
Welcome to moomie!

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for many years. I don't have experience with the tissue salts unfortunately.

This article explains the importance of treating depression during pregnancy.

If you are not coping I would highly recomend you discuss this with your Gynea or a psychiatrist. Chances are that by the time the baby is born that you will struggle even more.

I know there has been other moms on the forum who has taken anti-depressants while pregnant, hopefully somebody else can comment. xx

Hi there

Im trying to decide whether to go the natural route with tissue salts for depression and anxiety or to take an anti-depressant while im pregnant. Does anyone have experience with the tissue salts actually lifing their mood? Please let me know...
