Dr. Aron Tendler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

It Depends: Sertraline is a category c drug for pregnancy and it is safe during lactation. During pregnancy the risks and benefits are calculated between you and your doctors before coming to a decision if it is safer for you and your baby to be on or off it.
