Hello everyone,
I have been struggling with anxiety and saw a psychiatrist who recommended paxil (paroxetine hydrochloride 10mg) i was wondering if any other moms on here have been/are on these? What are the starting effects? How did they make you feel? Anything!? Please!
Ps. I am 30 yr old and breastfeeding.
Thanks!

I’m sorry that you’re struggling and I’ve not been in that medication.

If you’re BFing, you might want to talk to the BFN about taking the drug BFing. I know that they’ve reassured me when I’ve been prescribed things in the past.
