Severe anxiety, Zoloft and Ativan

[Sarahn923]

Hi,

i am 9 months pp and have been experiencing severe anxiety and panic attacks. My dr prescribed 50mg Zoloft and 1mg Ativan2x/day. I was just wondering if it was still safe to breastfeed or if I needed to wait a certain amount of time or if I had to pump and dump my milk. Also, wasn’t sure what the risk factors are
for breastfeeding on those meds.

these are just fine for your situation and have been used in thousands of breastfeeding women. We consider them a good choice in breastfeeding women for treating anxiety. However the dose of Zoloft might be a bit low but a good place to start.
