In every pregnancy (irrespective of you being on any medications) there is almost 3% risk of baby having malformation.

Dear Rumi,
Please let me know the dose of Flunil, is it 20 mg or 60 mg? Also you need to give more details about your original symptoms, how much flunil helped and the side effects of flunil. You can take Flunil twice a day if you like as long as the total dose/day is the same prescribed.

Can I take antidepressants while breastfeeding? Hi, I am 29. I have 3 months old baby whom I breastfeed. I have anxiety since childhood. I used to take medication for it before getting pregnant. Now it has been an year I am not taking any medication. And my anxiety is back now. I feel difficult sometimes to bond with my baby. I don't feel excited and positive about future and life. I am having lack of concentration and confidence. I approached two psychiatrist recently. One prescribed me nexito 5 and other prescribed me prodep 20. They said it's ok to take them while breastfeeding. I really want to take these. I desperately want to be mentally healthy. But the thought that it might harm my baby doesn't encourage me to go further. Are there any lactating women who had been taking such medications? Are there anyone who has been in same condition? I just little bit of motivation to go ahead and start my medication. Please help.

spend 1 hour daily behind exercise and yoga, include green leafy vegetables, eggs, almonds, nuts, oats and pineapples in daily diet. These foods help to increase tryptophan...more
