I'm sorry they "wouldn't let you nurse" on Zoloft. Dr. Thomas Hale, who is *THE* expert on drugs and breastfeeding, says that Zoloft is "the drug of choice" for breastfeeding mothers!
It has a low, low transfer rate to breastmilk (17-173 ug/liter) in mothers taking up to 150 mg/day. In one excellent study of 11 mother/infant pairs, the zoloft was UNDETECTABLE in 7 of the 11 breastfeeding infants' serum and minimal in the other infants.

Answer 2

First off, you should be asking a doctor or pharmacist this, not a bunch of people who have no idea!

Second, I went on Zoloft shortly after having my son and they wouldn't even let me nurse while taking it.

Answer 3

I have heard that it is safe, but I still wouldn't try it, just in case. I mean, you always see on tv those "bad drug" commercials. So many things just aren't known yet and zoloft is a fairly new medication.

Answer 4

It is best of you can be weaned off before getting pregnant. I read an article on Yahoo! news todat that says babies born to mothers on Zoloft, Paxil etc.. go through withdrawl once they are born. I am getting weaned off before I start my family.

Answer 5

You need to talk to your OB doctor about any medications that you can take while pregnant...not people online...people can tell you anything and can do harm than good.

Answer 6

I wouldn't take anything like that when I was pregnant, too many risks.

Answer 7

ask doctor
