MAO inhibitors (Chung Kai Chek), are not absolutely contraindicated during
breastfeeding.  You have to weigh the risks of the drug against the risks of
not breastfeeding.  The risks of not breastfeeding are considerable.

But why MAO inhibitor when so many less dangerous (for the mother) drugs are
available now?
