**** (was RE: OT - Treating Depression While Breastfeeding)

[Guest guest]

I had a miscarriage while taking an SSRI (Celexa). I stopped the drug,

waited a month, then got pregnant again right away. Could be coincidence but

thought I'd share. I decided against it while nursing even though I had PPD.

My doc shared some studies with me that showed they had a small effect on

the baby - lethargy, difficulty rousing, etc.

Truly,

There is much written about side effects of SSRIs in the

on-line BNF (British National Formulary) - equivalent of Physician's Desk

Reference, I think, for you. This information is provided by the drug

companies, who, while obviously covering their backs, are responsible enough

(?) to suggest caution in lactation and pregnancy.

I'm so sorry that you had a miscarriage, related or not. I was only asking for

info because I was on Zoloft while I was pregnant and nursing my 2nd daughter.

She's almost 6 now. I don't recall her having any lethargy or difficulty

rousing, she certainly isn't that way now. ;-)
