It is important to take care of yourself because experiencing symptoms of PPD may have consequences. In clinical studies, moms who took ZULRESSO experienced a greater improvement in symptoms of postpartum depression vs placebo in 2.5 days. Symptoms were measured at the beginning of treatment using a standard depression scale and again at the end of treatment. Zulresso is the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for postpartum depression.
