Breastfeeding and Lustral Postnatal anxiety

Hi,

For the past 4 weeks I have been suffering from a lot of anxiety, mostly in the form of intrusive thoughts and panic attacks. I finally plucked up the courage to see my GP yesterday and she has prescribed me 25mg of Lustral, moving up to 50. I haven't started them yet as I am worried about the effect they will have on my breast milk, as I am exclusively breastfeeding. I Know they are apparently the safest form of anti depressant to take but still I'm concerned.

Has anyone else used these successfully and safely? As I'm a worrier, I don't want to be nervous about looking out for any possible reactions in my little boy.

I would love some help and advice or any success stories oh and maybe a big hug!

Xxx

I don't have any knowledge on this bit you need to discuss it with your gp, hv or pharmacist. Don't forget it takes a while for antidepressants to take effect.
