  • Title: Psychopharmacology in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding.
    Author: Payne JL.
    Journal: Psychiatr Clin North Am; 2017 Jun; 40(2):217-238. PubMed ID: 28477649.
    Abstract:
    The use of psychotropic drugs during pregnancy and breastfeeding remains a controversial topic. There are several reasons for the controversy, ranging from the misperception that pregnancy is protective against mental illness, to the notion that women should be "pure" during pregnancy and avoid all extraneous substance use, and finally, to the stigma and misunderstanding of psychiatric illness and underestimation of how serious it can be. Fortunately, the currently available data are reassuring for most psychiatric medications-properly controlled studies indicate little to no risk for most (but not all) psychiatric medications.
