I worked with a woman years ago who had similar symptoms,(given permission
to post years ago) while nursing both of her children. She also felt the
desire to "jump up, throw the baby, and run out of the house screaming"
during ejection reflex. Her doctor dismissed this completely, but I refered
her to a mental health professional, who seemed to think (as did many on
Lactnet) that it was an unusual side effect of oxytocin release. The
symptoms seemed to peak during ejection, but she felt jumpy during the
entire nursing. She said it had happened with the first baby, and had
gradually decreased as the baby got older. WIth the second child, the
symptoms were overwelming.

She saw the mental health specialist and was placed on an SSRI
antidepressant, she did quite well, the medication was compatable, and her
symptoms disappeared quickly. She continued to nurse the child into
toddlerhood. ALthough she denied any PPD symptoms at the time of symptoms,
she did say, in retrospect, she seemed to have suffered anxiety type PPD,
but didn't realize it until she was in treatment.
