Increase in symptoms after upping meds and restarting birth control

I had a baby 7 weeks ago and I’ve noticed an increase in my OCD/anxiety symptoms. I increased my Celexa (with the guidance of my doctor) from 20 MG to 40 MG a couple of weeks ago. I also restarted birth control a couple of weeks ago. My symptoms are now through the roof and I am unable to sleep. For me, no sleep equates to feeling depressed. I imagine with being postpartum, changing my Celexa dosage, and restarting birth control is a recipe for disaster, but I’m wondering if anyone has a similar experience (and perhaps can share if things turned around for you).

Thank you in advance!

Postpartum - increased dose
