Dear Dr. Hale,
An expectant mom in her third trimester sought lactation advice and regarding taking the following medications during the pregnancy,she has been advised to not make changes by her psychiatrist, as achieving the right balance for her has been a challenge and she wants to breastfeed baby. We looked at each Medication individually in your "Medications and Mother's Milk Book", however, all together in the higher range dosage is where we are concerned, Can you advise? The medications are as follows:
Prozac 80 mg
Wellbutrin 300 mg
Fentanyl Patch 75 mcg (changing the patch every 72 hours)
Ambien 10 mg prn @ HS
Zanax up to 4 mg daily prn
Thank-you, Kelly
