I'm having a really hard time, I'm all alone and miserable. My therapist has diagnosed me with moderate post partum anxiety and depression. I'm unsure about taking anything while breastfeeding but I feel miserable and I just don't want my baby to be miserable because of me. I'm desperate. Is Zoloft safe to take when I'm breastfeeding? I tried giving my baby formula but he refuses and the little he does drink leave him gassy, bloated, constipated and fussy. Please help I just want to enjoy my baby and make him happy.

Is zoloft the American name for sertraline? I started on sertraline whilst still bf, it was the only one the doc could give whilst bf.

It made me feel worse for a week or so, then I got much better. I'm still on it seven years later :)

I breastfed both of mine whilst taking Sertraline for severe PND. They're 10 and 7 now, happy and healthy! I BF my first for 12 months and the second for 10 months. Hope you feel better soon Flowers
