So I know this is personal and if you don't wanna come to you can private message me. Today I got prescribed a anti anxiety and anti depressants. But I'm still breastfeeding and don't plan to stop but the pharmacist said there was a "possible" toxicity build up in my milk. Any one experience this?!anyone have advice?
@mamesey she should definitely do some research before taking that, although it's natural, it's considered an MAOI drug and can have severe side effects of taken with or while conauming any sort of dairy in her diet at all. @sofiaismyworld I understand depression and anxiety, Ive been dealing with it all my life. Im on Paxil but wont take it because of that reason, the toxicity buildup. Although its safe for breastfed babies SUPPOSEDLY, I dont want to risk that..So Im going ned free, and dealing with it in other ways.
you should look it up on lacmed most pharmacists and drs are not up to date on prescriptions and breastfeeding
Try St. John's Wort. It's natural and it is considered safe for breastfeeding. It helps anxiety and depression
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
@sarahemccormick, of course do research, just a suggestion. I don't consume dairy so that's why I've never had any issues with it. I've dealt with depression and anxiety since I was extremely young. I also have PTSD. Used to take meds and switched to St. John's wort because I just don't like the idea of constant medication, but I'm in the same boat where I don't take anything because I breastfeed. St. John's wort is considered safe for breastfeeding but I prefer not to take anything too :)
