Generally speaking, the older a child and the less often he feeds, the more reassured you can feel about most medications.

Perfectly safe, it's one of the standard breastfeeding ones. TBH most of the ones GPs can give are safe, as are most drugs they give. The real problem drugs are the ones only a consultant can prescribe and they'll know better how safe it is. As far as AD's go, it's major anti-psychotic drugs that aren't safe.

thanks guys, doc said it should be ok as it is a small dose, he has however changed it to i think prozac, i just dont want after 2.5 years of avoiding stuff like this for him to suddenly get affected by it, he usuallly has al little bit about6 -6.30pm (BM) and some in the morning around 7am so i am hoping it does not affect him to seriously
