I was on lexapro for 3 years. The second year I was pregnant and stopped taking the meds untill the end of the pregnancy. I wanted to start it up again to make sure I could handle the post pardum. I lost the baby weight pretty fast and was down to what I was before the pregnancy.

I nursed and did not notice any effects on my babies. I feel it really helped me through the post prego stuff. I would do it again in a heart beat. I am still on meds now, but I am on a sister drug called celexa. I am not happy with the results, I have gained 30 lbs since I switched. But I don't have health insurance and the price difference is huge since celexa has a generic. That's off the subject.

All in all I think if you feel you need it you can feel safe taking it. But I am no Dr, and they can be wrong too.
