Antidepressants

[Tumblemum]

Hi I am on this and Dr does not think it is safe with breast feeding putting pressure on me to stop , where can I find information to give dr that will convince her?

It is a tricyclic AD.

Hope someone can help have posted on health too as not sure which right

Hi, there was thread about this last week. hold on i'll find the info.. how do i add as a link?

www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/our_e xperts/article1830088.ece

That was the link.. I don't know if it will work tho..

Is it your GP that's unhappy? If so can you ask her for a referral to a psychiatrist instead?

My GP wasn't sure which ADs would be best for me, and he didn't think I could have the ones I'd previously taken, so he referred me to a consultant at our local psychiatric hospital.

I take a tricyclic AD (lofepramine) and breastfeed, and I know there are several others you can take.

Here's some info from the Breastfeeding Network www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/supporterline/antidep ressants.php

Hope you get it sorted

Thanks all, really helpful

I took sertraline whilst breastfeeding DD.
