Can I take something for anxiety whilst breastfeeding

Does anyone know of any anxiety medication that can be taken while breastfeeding. My DS is 19 months and only feeds twice a day.

I am desperate for some medication as I am not coping, but my DS is undergoing a lot of medical examinations at the moment and I don't want to take away something that makes him feel safe and secure.

I’ve just recently started on fluoxetine for anxiety while breastfeeding my 27 month old. They said it would be fine with an older toddler, and no issues so far!

Yes. Sertraline is also bf friendly. Flowers
