So, I am breastfeeding a 1 year old, and I have been put on lofepramine. The doctor did assure me it is safe while breastfeeding. But the leaflet, and the internet both seem to say to avoid as there is very little information on its safety while breastfeeding. Other sites with more information are saying different (but similar) Antidepressants should be used with preference, so I wondered why I was given these ones specifically?
I'm not too worried, my baby is generally quite healthy sturdy thing, and I will be keeping an eye on her, just a little.... nervous. Anyone had any experience? I suppose at least I wasn't told I must stop breastfeeding like so many women are told when given medication....
