Taking imipramine 25 mg
I am taking imipramine 25 mg one and half tablet from last two years. Yesterday i gave birth to a preterm girl baby (34 weeks 3 days) while on same medication. As she is born in preterm she is in NICU and oxygen levels are getting monitored by doctor. Now she is getting better breath. Now my question is can i breastefeed my daughter taking that medicine? Yesterday doctor did operation so i didn't take. I couldn't sleep last night had some brain shock kind of feeling when i try to sleep. Can i take from today onwards? But here in hospital they are changing to other antidepressants along with clonotril for next 15 days which am not ok because trying new medicine cause me always horrible feeling. Please suggest what to do. Can i be on same imipramine 25 mg one and half tablet or new Medicines suggested by new doctor for breastfeeding?

Imipramine is generally safe in breastfeeding but given the fact it's a preterm baby you could look at reducing its dose and giving a gap between breastfeeding and the medication timing. For an accurate advice, doctor will need to know more details. you will need to take a psychiatrist opinion for assessing the diagnosis and need to continue imipramine taking into account all factors.
