Hi! I have taken Prozac 40 mg a day since before I got pregnant. I am also nursing my son. I haven't experienced any side effects. My doctor told me I had to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision myself. I suffer from panic disorder, I made the decision that taking the meds were worth it. I understand how you are feeling since there really isn't any precedence on this. My doctor keeps a close watch on my son and I. My husband has been supportive of my decision. Of course he was concerned as to if we were making the right decision, but he was supportive.
