A talk at the APA conf. on May 20 reports 5 SSRI antidepressants tested safe for BF moms. The article is at http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/455956_print The SSRI's tested were citalopram, sertraline, paroxetine, venlafaxine, and fluoxetine. The highest plasma level found in a baby was 10% of the maternal concentration, while 2 drugs, sertraline and paroxetine, were below the limit of detection. Fluoxetine was found at 47 nmol/L, but I'm personally wary of the safety finding, because there was only one mom using it. For citalopram, (9 moms) the average was 1.9 nmol/L. Hale (2002) reports fluoxetine as L3 for neonates, L2 for older infants.
