Hello, all-- I just had a mother call and ask which antianxiety agent is preferred for breastfeeding mothers. Her MD didn't give her any specific names of agents, so I couldn't look it up. If Drs. Newman, Hale, and Nice are on line and could suggest a preferred agent, I'd love to have your opinion. I know that the benzodiazepams have some concerns with lethargy in the infant; Zoloft might be a good choice, but it's primarily and antidepressant which is used for anxiety sometimes also. Anxious to hear your opinions. Linda L. Shaw MD FAAP
