  • Title: Can venlafaxine in breast milk attenuate the norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake neonatal withdrawal syndrome.
    Author: Koren G, Moretti M, Kapur B.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynaecol Can; 2006 Apr; 28(4):299-301. PubMed ID: 16776907.
    Abstract:
    A newborn infant whose mother had used venlafaxine, a selective inhibitor of both norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake, throughout pregnancy exhibited signs consistent with the norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake withdrawal syndrome. Is it possible that mother's milk can help mitigate the effects of norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake withdrawal? Pharmacokinetic analysis and review of the only published case with active treatment of a baby with venlafaxine suggest that breastfeeding may mitigate the neonatal withdrawal syndrome.
