Experts, I have searched the archives and found no clear cut, recently posted information (1998 most current) regarding the use of phenobarb by an epileptic nursing mother. Mom is seizure-free x 5 years on 100mg phenobarb bid. This is mom's second term pregnancy (she is currently 37 weeks) on phenobarb. Her first baby born 10 years ago suffered what she believes to be withdrawal (crying inconsolibly x 2 weeks postpartum)when she did not breastfeed and she does not want the same trauma to occur with this baby. A look at Hale revealed that withdrawal symptoms can occur, but I could not get any substantiated documentation to give to her OB and neurologist saying slow weaning is the preferred method to help ease the baby from the phenobarb. What I need for these docs is a documented study. Any help? *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
