I posted earlier this week about how I am weaning off of meds....still am, and I just keep having "scary thoughts" but only while nursing! My scary thoughts have always been, "what if I go crazy? what if I hurt my baby? I do not WANT to, but what if I did somehow?" I do not know if it is because that is the only time that we are quiet enough to let my thoughts go wild, or could this be hormonal? I so want to stop taking meds, and I really can no longer afford them......is it time to wean from BFing? He loves it so much...but I feel kinda done.

Hey, if you are ready, then I would go ahead and try to wean him. It's not just up to him.

Let-down reflex is caused by an oxytocin rush. So, it could be hormonal.

There's a condition call dysphoric milk ejection reflex you might want to look in to. It causes a surge of negative emotions preceding let down.
