Prozac and Breastfeeding

5 replies

Hi everyone

I'm on 20mg of Prozac per day.

I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 11 day old.

I was always intending on having 1-2 glasses of wine once a week now that I'm not pregnant, but it just struck me that perhaps I shouldn't because I'm taking the Prozac?

Any advice?

The NHS guidance suggests it's okay to drink alcohol whilst using Prozac but that if can make you feel a bit drowsy.

I wouldn't worry about BFing and wine, as long as you're sensible. Would the wine react with the Prozac though?

Anyway, this article from the BFing Network talks about which ones are safe Flowers

No, there’s no interaction between alcohol and Prozac.
