Does anyone have Dr. Hale's book? Need immediate help!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My SIL is breastfeeding her 6 week old baby. She has a diagnosed anxiety disorder and is suffering from anxiety again and signs of PPD. Her doctor has said she cannot go back on Effexor, which is the drug that works for her, unless she weans her son. She does not want to do this. Can someone please, please, please, scan me the page(s) on Effexor and breastfeeding and e-mail them to me? She is seriously feeling like she is losing it and I am trying to convince her not to stop breastfeeding until I can collect some more info. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

Effexor is L3, moderately safe.
L2 alternatives would be Paxil or Zoloft.
Most LLL Leaders should be able to share a xeroxed copy of the pages from Hale's book to share with her physician.

I can do this tomorrow morning my time (in 13 hours' time) if no-one else has been able to do so before then. PM me with an e-mail address if you'd like me to.
