Hi, am a breastfeeding mom and wonder if there is any medicine would help me ?
i don't have persistant depression but mood swing... like one week or two I might be fine and my mood is as usually but one day or more I can feel down and weak!!!

Did any mother have tried antidepressant prescribed by dotcor and safe for lactating woman?

Thank you for your advice i really appreciate it..

I posted my question just to see if there are any antidepressant available for the breasfeeding woman because I did some search on internet and did ask in a pharmacy and both info said that antidepressant go through the breast milk.

I deffenetly prefer to have alternative cure if possible but since my case is not severe and not even moderate... am having blues sometime and wish to handle it without any medicament.

Thank you for your reply!

I went with my baby, took her to the appointment and it only took half an hour.
Just in case you get worse.  I do not think you should take anything without the best advice available, which would be a psychiatrist.

Anyway I hope that you pick up take care.

A psychiatrist would be able to help you.  Some are very understanding about why a woman would want to breastfeed and will help you with a low dose of the safest medication. Make sure you find a good Psychiatrist.

Untreated depression can get worse, why not get a psychiatrists opinion?
