PPD and BF

So I've been diagnosed with PPD and PPAnxiety. I'm EBF and see a nurse practitioner at the Drs office. She's a newer nurse and isn't 100% about some info like med interaction. She says that no meds are safe to use while breast feeding and that I should wean ASAP to start meds. Does anyone have any experience with BFing while on meds for PPD? Thanks!

    Thank you! I thought there had to be something. I've already got a referral to a specialist but that can take a while (Canada). Nurse wanted me to start meds ASAP but I really don't want to wean. Thank you!

    PP's right about seeing a psychiatrist over a general practitioner for help with PPD.  They are just so much more knowledgable on the subject and they would be able to give you the right info on meds and BF.  I'm glad you didn't just listen to the nurse and start weaning.  Hope you get the help you need, GL.

    Thank you everyone! I'll be emailing Dr Newman and going around her to our GP.
