Yes, but why this drug?  Why not something else.  These SSRI antidepressants
are essentially all the same.  There are individual differences in response
to them, but that does not mean that if she didn't respond to this one she
won't respond to another.  I mean, with her last baby did she try Paxil?
What about tricyclics?

If I were in her place, and there were no other choice, I would take the
effexor, keep breastfeeding and keep an eye on the child.  The doctors could
even do studies on breastmilk levels and baby's levels.
