A member asked:
Is there an anxiety or depression medicine available that will not get into breast milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expect all to enter: Expect anything you ingest during breast feeding to potentially show up at some level in the bm. Some common anti-depressants are considered less worrisome than others & more so if started after delivery. Paxil, zoloft & prosac are less worrisome than effexor, (venlafaxine) xanax or diazepam. Consider their use as a benefit to you both & not a reason to stop bf or avoid needed rx.

I am experiencing panic attack, moderate shortness of breath of sudden onset, that gets worse with psychological stress, exercise or physical activity, that is unaffected by lying down, and that gets better with rest, and that is unaffected by sitting upright, breast pain, stomach upset, emotional problems, feeling anxious, feeling depressed, trouble sleeping, and hopelessness.
