Zoloft and co-sleeping  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
To make a VERY long story short, I was perscribed 50mg of zoloft for PPD. The Psyc who I talked to said to take them at night, it will help me sleep, not to be w orried about the baby getting any in the breaastmillk...( I have done a lot of reading on zoloft and breastmilk, I know he gets some, but not alot.)
If taking it at night is going to help me sleep, couldnt that be dangerous? Im not taking it yet until I find some more info on it. I really dont want to stop co-sleeping (baby is amonth old as of yesterday), I dont want there to be any changes in our nursing patterns either.... We have an Amby bed so he will always be close, Im just uneasy about the lightheartedness this question is being treated with....Any suggestions or further info on this would be much appreciated!!! (Im going to cross-post to the co-sleeping forum, in case you read this twice!!!) Thanks !!

I have taken this before. I took it at night because it made me tired. Not enough to help me sleep, it wasn't like a sleep aid. But if I took it in the morning then I was tired most of the day. We co-sleep and I never had any problems at night.

I'm also on 50mg zoloft and haven't had any trouble co-sleeping.

I too am on 50mg that I take before bed and am fine with cosleeping. I took it one time during the day and I was just very tired.

same here, it didn't make me sleepy...but it eased the anxiety so that I could actually fall asleep-which is probably what your doctor meant.
