your experiences with paroxetine please

[ilovefirelighters]

i have had depression in the past and so this isnt new to me, but this time im breastfeeding and my gp says i can only take paroxetine as all the others would affect feeding!! really?? as many mothers have anxiety/depression feelings surely there would be more available. also iv been on them for about 5 weeks now and no change in feelings. gp said i would really notice the difference after a week. maybe i need a higher dose. your views and experiences welcome

You might want to ask in breast feeding. They will know if there are other anti-depressants that are ok to feed whilst taking etc.

After 5 weeks you probably need to talk to your doctor again if you aren't feeling any better. You should have felt some change by now.
