The safest of the SSRI's is probably zoloft, but effexor isn't too bad, to my
understanding. Antihistamines (esp. nonsedating ones) are no problem;
steroids are not a problem with breastfeeding. The mom is probably being
told to pump & dump unnecessarily. Why no try zoloft on her, since there's
lots of good data that it's safe with breastfeeding?
