I got an email forward from our hospital social worker from MedWAatch
stating that neonates exposed to Effexor and other SNRI's have developed
complications requiring prolonged hospitalizations, respiratory support and
tube feedings.  These codmplications arise immediately after delivery when
then mom has taken these drugs during 3rd trimester.
This info can be access at
http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/SAFETY/2004/safetyo4.htm#effexor

I tried LActnet achives with search words Effexor and MedWatch without
sucess.  If this has been previously discussed I apoligize.  I am not able
to stay current with the volume of Lactnet but would appreciate if anyone
knows of this and NOW WHAT DO WE DO with all the depressed women we see!!!


thanks
