My LO is coming up 15 weeks and is exclusively breast fed. I absolutely adore bf and have been enjoying my new addition so much. However I hav suffered on and off over the past 7 years with extreme generalised anxiety for which I've taken medication and had CBT which worked for a while. Anyway I was on sertraline (Zoloft) 50mg before I got pregnant and stopped it as soon as I found out and haven't been back on since. I was doing ok but since having my LO my anxiety has peeked and is having a huge impact on my life and starting to make me slightly depressed with it Which its never done before. I've been trying to ignore it as I'm absolutely terrified that if I go back on the sertraline while bf that it's going to give my baby some sort of mental health issue or effect his brain development (an example of my irrational thoughts 
) I know they say about the benefits outweighing the risks but at the same time I'm petrified of harming the baby with these meds in my system. I don't want to give up bf either I want to do minimum 6 months but want to aim for anything up to a year if I can! Help me someone I'm desperate. Thank you x
