Big mistake. Lactation, swelling, weight gain, and got to relive all the wonderful side effects I had with the zyban. Got back on the shots, things have improved greatly. No longer do I lose my mind, just my keys! I've stopped lactating, the weight is under control and though I still have aniexty attacks now and then, they have lessened. Suggestion: Go back on the b.c.Forgot to mention this. A thread started in April about antidepressants and lactation. You can find an article on this at the following message posting.
