Prozac Question

Published

Hey everyone, I've had a problem with depression for a long time and long story short, my doctor prescribed Prozac for me. I'm starting at 10 mg and then next week will probably move up to 20 mg. But he said that it's not safe to take while pregnant, and since we're trying to conceive that's alarming. Also I heard that it's not safe to take while breastfeeding and since I still nurse twice a day, I'm concerned about that too. Does anyone have any experiences with this? Can anyone tell me anything or give me any advice? I'ave asked moms in general and looked on google some, but I'd like a nursing opinion.Thanks
