Has anyone taken Cymbalta while breastfeeding?

[LilianA]

I am 24 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby and I really want to breast feed but I am on cymbalta now and I know I will need it after birth as I have bad postpartum depression last time and i'm so scared of it happening again!
I talked to my OB today and she said it should be fine but to ask the pediatrician and I will but just wanted to see if anyone had experience with it
Thanks

No experience with Cymbalta but I do take Citalopram (Celexa) without issue. The main thing is to keep your dose steady and try not to miss any

With most medications, the amount in breastmilk is not enough to outway the benefits of breastfeeding, especially if it is considered safe for pregnancy. Obviously a pharmacist or other specialist can give you the best info.
