Hi everyone!
I am an LLL Leader with multiple calls on breastfeeding and anti-depressant
medication. I have researched through drug books and they all say it is not a
good idea to breastfeed while taking anti-deprressants. I had an email
yesterday from a women who is pregnant and taking Prozac and wants to know if
she can continue taking Prozac and breastfeed. If anti-depressants are not
safe for nursing moms how can they be safe for pregnant moms? And what can
these woman take who NEED anti-depressants? She said she will not breastfeed
if she has to get off Prozac.
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Carolyn
LLL Leader
