Breast Fibroid Causes
Can you breast feed while on prozac after the baby is born? 26 weeks now.?
I am 26 weeks and I went to see the dr this morning. I have had a rough pregnancy so far. I have a fibroid that is about as big as my baby and I look like I have twins although one is my child and the other is a Tumor. The tumor sits on my nerve causing scyatiica. (Sharp pains to the bottom of my feet and burning) Before it was every now and then. The last two weeks it has been constant. I now struggle to get around to do anything. Even the bathroom is a task. I have reached my end and am sad because I have a hard time taking care of my family. The Dr and us have decided that we will take the baby out as soon as we know that we can. Our child is very heathly but the stress that I am under concerns the Dr a great deal. I find myself crying in the shower to hide the saddness. My husband allows me to cry in his arms and he is very supportive and worried as well. They put me on prozac today will it help? Has anyone else taken this while pregnant and it help? Im scared, sad, but faithful
Prozac is the only drug "cleared by the FDA" for use during pregnancy. A mother on Prozac during pregnancy may wish to change drugs before birth or immediately after, or titrate the dose down in the last trimester since the existing blood plasma level in the newborn fetus plus the drug transfer through milk may lead to toxicity. Its effects on the breastfed infant have been reported in infants 2 months old or less.
You may want to consider Zoloft post-partum.
Zoloft is the "best drug choice so far". It has a low, low transfer rate to breastmilk (17-173 ug/liter) in mothers taking up to 150 mg/day. In one excellent study of 11 mother/infant pairs, the zoloft was undetectable in 7 of the 11 breastfeeding infants' serum and minimal in the other infants. In two other studies of one and three mother/infant pairs respectively, zoloft was undetectable in the plasma of all 4 infants. A theoretical concern with Zoloft is that some babies may not gain weight as rapidly or as well when breastfed by moms on Zoloft; so weight gain should be monitored and dosage tweaked as necessary.
