Postnatal depression - despite all the litigation Guardian Newspaper says - Paxil/Seroxat safest for breastfeeding

Postnatal depression | Life and style | BMJ Group: "Medicines
Antidepressants are medicines that can lift your mood. The ones that have been studied for postnatal depression are fluoxetine (Prozac) paroxetine (Seroxat) and sertraline (Lustral). They are part of a group called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)."

If you are breastfeeding, your doctor will be cautious about prescribing antidepressants. The drugs may get into your breast milk, and there's not enough research to know for certain whether this can harm your baby. Doctors think there is less chance of harm from paroxetine and sertraline than from fluoxetine.
