Breast feeding and antidepressants
Hi! I just wondered if anyone has any views/opinions/taken antidepressants whilst breastfeeding? I have been diagnosed with severe post natal depression. Stopping feeding is not an option but I don't know much about these drugs. I am going to see my GP tomorrow and my HV thinks I will be given something and needs it. I am so worried. I know I could put this in the PND forum but I wanted to know if anyone else who had breast feed and taken something x

I have absolutely no regrets about taking them, my daughter is now a happy active 18 month old.
I know you probably feel awful right now but I promise you it will get better, everything takes time but you'll start having more good days than bad days.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

I hope everything starts to pick up quickly for you, if you ever want someone to chat to I'm normally in the Jan 2010 forum!
