Can I take medication if Im pregnant or breastfeeding?
This is a personal decision that should be made with your partner and healthcare practitioner. There are medications that healthcare practitioners will prescribe during pregnancy and lactation to help women with perinatal mood disorders. Nothing is 100% risk-free, so all decisions should be made with full information and understanding about the risks and benefits when pregnant or lactating. Its most important to keep in mind that perinatal mood disorders respond well to treatment. You can get better and you will feel like yourself again.
