Hello Everyone! I am needing drug information for a mom to be. She is concerned about a certain medication. I have permission to post parts of her email here. Please respond soon as she will be having baby in about 2 weeks. The actual name of the drug is Venlafaxine or Effexor XR . My psychiatrist and ob/gyn told me that there is still not enough information about this drug to determine whether or not it will effect the baby yet. But, they do know that it is definately found in the breastmilk. I have already started to taper off of my medicine. Instead of 150 mg., I am now taking 112mg, and then after a week, I will be taking 75 mg. My baby is scheduled to be induced on April 1st, so I need some answers fast.That is all I know to do at this point. This medicine is a very hard one to get off of, with severe withdrawl symptoms, but I'm trying my best to do what is right. I would like to thank any one that takes the time to help this mother. Breastfeeding is very important to her. Thanks a Ton!
