I would allow your hormones to stabilize before taking any medication, it's okay to feel how you do your body just needs time to readjust. Taking medication now could make you feel worse and really mess up the natural pattern of how your hormones adjust to your body and strongly impact the whole of your physical and mental state

Since you were on medication before, it's important to continue to take care of your mental health. ESPECIALLY with the hormone changes after giving birth. I would talk to your doctor about breastfeeding friendly medications that you can take. There are plenty. The best thing to do is to take care of you so you can give your baby the best of you. I stopped meds at the beginning of my pregnancy and had to start them up again in my second trimester and I am very glad that I did. There were some rough spots after I gave birth, but because I stayed on my meds I was able to handle them better. Mental health is nothing to play with, but you can continue to breastfeed with the right medications. I wish you the best!

@queeneden, I know it's not. I don't want to be unstable for my son. His dr said that I can't be on meds while breastfeeding 😔

Depending on the medicine, you absolutely can. Talk to your ob and they will know. Also, research online the meds you were taking and breastfeeding. You don't have to suffer.

I would ask your doctor and have him/her advise you instead of a bunch of women you don't know on an app.

I'm bipolar and I have been off meds for two years due to having children back to back. I breastfed both. I see my therapist once a week and I seem to be OK. my anxiety can flare up. I manage by enjoying the bond with breastfeeding and blogging. I also home school my son and sister.
