Hi Dr. Hale,
My wife is currently on 40 mg of celexa and exclusively breastfeeding our 7 week old.
I’ve read celexa is not your first choice, would you recommend she try and switch her medication for the safety of our newborn? Celexa works for her but she’s worried about the effects.
She took 10mg of Celexa starting at 22weeks of pregnancy and raised it to 20mg at 36 weeks then 40mg one week postpartum.
Thank you!
