@Strawberrylatte thank you. I took it whilst pregnant as directed by obstetrics but now needing to take it again and the GP suggested not breast feeding while I take it. She then however changed her mind but it just made me anxious which sounds crazy as I took it while pregnant but it feels different now baby is here and he is very new! All the hormones won’t be helping the anxieties

I think I remember all was said to me that if the baby is doing well doesn’t have any health problems currently then your ok to take it.
