**** (was RE: OT - Treating Depression While Breastfeeding)

[Guest guest]

Apologies, . I tried to reply to this last night but the link I

wanted was down. There is much written about side effects of SSRIs in the

on-line BNF (British National Formulary) - equivalent of Physician's Desk

Reference, I think, for you. This information is provided by the drug

companies, who, while obviously covering their backs, are responsible enough

(?) to suggest caution in lactation and pregnancy.

This link

http://www.bnf.org/WeBNF/lform1/scripts/display2.dll/mpanel?ID=3351

certainly indicates caution in breastfeeding and pregnancy, and when you

check out the appendix, it says that there is no apparent harm in the short

term. Pretty damning, imnsho! All terribly vague. There are so many

natural, safer options for PND, but if really pushed, I'd be less worried

about the tricyclic antidepressants than SSRIs in b/f mums.

Love, light and peace,

Sue
