This is a complicated question to answer because there are differences among medications. Pregnancy is an effective way of relieving PMDD; therefore, it should not be necessary to take PMDD medication while pregnant. Most medications do appear in breast milk but the amount getting into an infant is very, very low. Nonetheless, it is best to discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of taking medications during pregnancy and while breast-feeding.
