Tell me your experiences of ADs and breastfeeding please

[hunkermunker]

Thank you

Have had two relatively good nights sleep-wise and feel quite a bit better - but also went to the GP this morning and have a prescription for Sertraline.

We shall see.

GP and HV both want to see me to see how I'm going. Feel well-looked-after this time round which makes a big difference (that and lovely MN support - thanks for the text this am, VVV - will see you soon x x x).

Amazing what difference a good night's sleep makes isn't it? Now that dd's a bit older and only wakes in the night if she's ill, I've found life so much easier to manage.

Are you going to take the AD's or just see how you go?

Sleep does help .

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better HM, been thinking about you!

I started taking AD's when ds was about 8 months old (I think) and was still breastfeeding. Had no problems there and the Ad's worked wonderfully. Still on them - don't be in a mad rush to come off them if they're helping you - If you're in denial and still a bit mortified by the stigma it's easy to rush off them after a few months of feeling normal - but about a year is normal, just to be on the safe side.

And don't feel you have to act like all depressed if you're having a good day! I don't
