Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Anti-depressants in order of preference are Zoloft, Paxil...and Prozac and is among the least preferred. I know that Celexa is also safe as I did some research on it (for a member of this list I think). You can go to Dr. Hale's website (author of Medications and Mother's Milk) and read his Q & A board. Don't be put off if the tone is harsh; he gets a bit irritated when the same question is asked a zillion times and the archives are available for searching. http://neonatal.ttuhsc.edu/lact/ Jenn -----Original Message----- From: D W My friend is just now getting depression post pregnancy, her baby is 4 months old.
