Anyone on blood pressure meds?

If so, what are you on?  My PCP and OB have differing opinions on the safeness of the meds I'm on (acebutolol) while breastfeeding.  When I talked to the pharmacist, he highly recommended against taking the med while breastfeeding.

Just curious if anyone is on blood pressure meds, what they're taking - so I have a few options to discuss with my PCP.  I'm thinking I will need to change ASAP as I'm schedule for a c/s in a week and a half.

    I had to be on labetalol after I had each of my daughters. You can go to infantrisk.com and call their hotline to speak to someone about what med is safest. Infant Risk is run by Dr. Hale. He wrote the book dr's use to look up the safety of meds for pregnancy and bf'ing.

    I was on labetalol with my first pregnancy and continued on it until 6w pp.
    Luckily didn't need anything with my second.

    I was on Labetalol and then got switched to Procardia.  I took it for about 6 weeks PP and then weaned off of it when my BP regulated.

    I started out taking Coreg PP, but with the high doses my BP was still high so now I take Norvasc.  I have a Cardiologist that works with pregnant and PP women.  she said I could not take ACE inhibitors and nurse but Beta blockers were fine,
