If the antidepressent is supposed to help my sleep disturbance and knocks me out, will I sleep through my babys cry?
A. The antidepressant medication will help improve the mothers disturbed sleep patterns but will not be over-sedating that the woman cannot wake and respond to her infants needs. Antidepressants are not sedatives, but medications that correct the dysregulation symptoms of this mood disorder as well as the symptom of depression itself. They are not addicting.
