Zoloft and breastfeeding and OCD

in Postpartum Depression

Has anyone been prescribed Zoloft for OCD?  I am breastfeeding and CAN'T stand the idea of stopping BFing my baby.  I know it's been deemed "safe" to take while BFing but I just don't want him to have ANY of it at all.  Anyone else taking it and BFing?  Anyone else have OCD?

    You can google, but the transfer rate through milk is very low and sometimes undetectable.  It is better for a baby to be exposed to a low amount of Zoloft than for his/her mom to have untreated mental illness.  You wouldn't skip antibiotics if you had a physical infection - your mental health is just as important.

    Agree with PP.

    I have OCD as well and am doing well on Zoloft (working up my dose right now). You can read my blog (link in siggy) for my full story.
