Dear Emily,
This formula was one that was helpful to at least one person I know. It can take a couple of weeks to feel the effects, though. It is safe for nursing moms.
Some other things that may sound trite but can really help fight PPD include:
- daily exercise
- daily sunshine
- a good diet (whole foods, less sugar)
- a support system - mom's group or La Leche League, mommy and me exercise programs, etc.
- enough rest - nap when baby naps if you can. Plan simple but wholesome meals. An avacado or a banana are a better snack than pretzels etc.
- laugh - watch a funny tv show, hang out with a funny friend, read a humorous book. Comic relief is truly a relief.
If you are asking about remedies for you, I hope that you will be feeling much better soon.

Emily, a tablespoon of Blackstrap Molasses daily, worked for someone I know.
