Has anyone been able to take medication for anxiety while nursing? I am a mother to a five month old who is exclusively breastfed, and I am hoping to nurse until he is at least a year old. My anxiety is at an all time high, and medication would certainly help, but I have severe health anxiety and I know all the health benefits of nursing for both mom and baby and I am not willing to compromise on those. Also, on the rare occasion that I do pump for him, he does not like the bottle, so it would be difficult to switch from breast to bottle now.
