Antidepressants while BF?

I had PPD with my first and started taking Celexa 7 months postpartum..I stopped nursing DS for other reasons around 3 months so it wasn't an issue. I want to BF longer this time around but I have concerns about PPD happening again and don't want to wait so long to start meds if necessary. Does anyone know which if any antidepressants are safe while BFing and what the potential risks to the baby are?
I do plan on talking with my doctor about this but my appointment isn't until next week and was just curious if anyone here has experience with this. Thanks!

    I've been on Zoloft for years, throughout my pregnancy and now BFing. My doc said it's perfectly safe for baby. Good luck, mama!

    I started taking zoloft with ds1 when he was 4 months. I BF just fine. 
    I took it in the hospital after DS2 and DS3. I was not going to wait for the crappy PPD I had with #1. Other than normal breastfeeding problems (latching issues), I had no issues. 
    All of my kids were breastfed for about 1 year - except little man who is 8 months.
