Hi, brand new here! I've been taking effexor XR for over 10 years. When I became pregnant I of course wanted to taper off so I tried it very slowly and sadly I reacted very bad so I had to go back to my usual dose of 150mg.
So far so good with babies health in utero.
I would really love to breastfeed but not if it will hurt the baby. I don't think going off Effexor is an option for me. Possibly lowering the dose but due to my reaction last time I'm scared to try it and I don't think my psychatrist wants me to try it either. Could possibly change the drug, and I will discuss this with my psychatrist but I'm hoping to get a solid answer regarding the safety of effexor and breastfeeding.
Thank you.
