Do not stop antidepressants immediately as it does have side effects ..
You can start ayurveda medicines and with tapering dose leave the antidepressants..this way it's withdrawal effect can be lowered!
Only ashwagandha churna won't affect your condition!
Proper case history with symptoms,body type,past history need to be known for treatment!
Ayurveda has a different way of diagnosing a disease!
Consult first
Next Steps
get plenty of sleep....start SOOTIKA PARICHARYA (massage with oil & steam)way of living after delivery will decrease you anxiety level
consult for diet plan & lifestyle

You can start but be careful with the dosage. I would suggest you to consult any doctor you want before taking any ayurvedic medicine.

You can start aswagandha. If you are able to manage only with that and some breathing techniques in yoga like seetali pranayama, that's enough.
