I am currently 29 weeks pregnant. I have a history of anxiety and bipolar. When I found out I was pregnant my OB, at the time, told me to stop taking all my medications, cold turkey. I was on topamax 200mg, cymbalta and clonazepam 2mg/ day. I remained on the clonazepam and still currently taking it, 2-3mg/ day, as well as, prozac 20mg. I have switched OBs. My question: I really want to breastfeed. I have been advised by several doctors not to. I honestly think it is due to liability reasons they say no. I contacted a LC, she told me about this site. Is it ok for me to breastfeed with these medications?I have been on clonazepam for 8 years and really need it, but I am willing to switch the prozac, I read that cymbalta was safer? I am aware that I need to monitor my baby for withdrawls, sedation and poor weight gain...
Would it be better to switch the prozac? If so when? It's working ok now, I do have a history of postpartum depression... I just want what is best for my little one!
Thank you... I can't express how good it is to know that someone is able to help me that is knowledgeable in this area..
