Postpartum Depression

Citalopram or Celexa

Is anyone taking this?  I was previously on Cymbalta but it didn't agree with me so my doctor changed me to this and I am wondering if any other bfing mothers have taken it.

  • I don't take it, Lexapro works for me, but my OB did mention it as an option if I needed to switch. She knows that I breastfeed so I would I assume it's OK. I think most of these meds are a gray area- haven't been studied much in pregnancy and breastfeeding, etc- but getting better is the most important thing in my opinion.

  • Hey Trish!  I've been taking this since before I got pregnant and I've never had any side effects.  It works great for me!
