Because of her swallowing impediments and because she was breastfeeding, sertraline solution was started at very small doses. It was titrated weekly to obtain therapeutic levels. By 4 weeks, her weight stabilized. By 8 weeks, she started gaining weight and sleeping better. She saw the therapist regularly to continue CBT techniques. Over the next several months she started eating a normal diet. She is currently maintained on her SSRI, is still breastfeeding, and has achieved insight into her perinatal anxiety disorder.
