Re : Alprazolam

The fact that the infant in question is 1.5 years old is beneficial, and it
is incredibly unlikely that anything via breastmilk is going to bother this
kid,  particularly not Zoloft or Alprazolam.

Secondly, when used "chronically" in younger infants, it is possible but not
very likely that alprazolam could produce some sedative effects in a
breastfed infant and perhaps dependence.  But the key word is chronic
administration.  We do know that when administered chronically, one case
report of a mild withdrawal did occur in one breastfed infant.

However, if this mom only used it ocassionally during the week, I doubt the
infant would every notice it.
