Last year, I nursed my baby while I was taking PaxilCR. No matter what herbals I used, how often I nursed/pumped, or how many lactation consultants I spoke with, I never produced enough milk. My son was very underweight, so I supplemented with formula whenever I absolutly had to, but I tried only giving breastmilk for 3-5 days, unless he began to lose weight. Well, I am in the process of weaning off paxil, and if all goes well, we plan to conceive again in 2007. I would really love to breastfeed again, but the constant weight checks, and the feeling that something is wrong with me,is not something I choose to do again. Has anyone here taken Paxil, or a similar drug, and could not produce enough breastmilk? Any suggestions? I have read about taking metroclopimide (Reglan), to increase supply, but the side effects of depression are too scary for me. Any suggestions would be helpful.
