Celexa for PPD?
oregonchick writes:
: I saw a doc today for the depression and she prescribed me 40mg of Celexa : even after we discussed Zoloft. The paper that came with the prescription : said in bold letters, "DO NOT USE WHEN BREASTFEEDING". Then I get home and : read things online that really freak me out. Now I don'y know what to : do-take the Celexa, try to push for a different drug, stop bf'ing, or tough : out the depression. Can anyone help? Celexa is L3 and has a longer half-life. Why would the doctor prescribe it if he knew this? Get him to change or go to an new doctor. Larry |

Celexa for PPD?
In message , Anne Rogers
writes Hale gives the hierachy of choice as follows, so Celexa is not the worst, but not the best either, it should be used if there is a reason not to use the others a.. Zoloft a.. Paxil a.. Celexa a.. Effexor a.. Prozac IIRC, Paxil is aka Seroxat/paroxetine. A now well-known POSSIBLE side effect is utterly horrendous suicidal depression. This happened to me. I was lucky to survive it. Treat with extreme caution. -- Mogget |

Treat with extreme caution. the same is true with Prozac, I'm not aware of this being such a high risk with the others, I also had this problem with prozac, so I decided to stop taking it, figureing I'd rather be low all the time than fine for 5 days and suicidal for 2 per week.
