BFing and meds?

in Postpartum Depression

Are any of you choosing to NOT BF because you're on meds?  I've read Zoloft is one of the safest meds to be on while BFing but I've had people like my therapist who keep talking about how "If you need to, you might have to just go with formula so you can get back on medication." 

Are any of you ladies choosing to bottlefeed with formula rather than BF for the sole reason of being on medication for your depression/anxiety?

    I chose to not BF because of my meds. I just knew it would cause me more anxiety. It was hard at first because I felt so guilty but after she took well to the bottle I felt better.

    I am on Zoloft and still bfing, and don't have any doubt that I'm doing what's best for my baby. He is getting the best nutrition I can give him and he now has a happy mom. Only you can decide what you feel comfortable with and if you will feel better switching to FF, then please do! A happy mom is most important. But after discussing it with my OB and LO's Pedi, I have never once had any doubt about my decision.
