  • Title: [Psychopharmacotherapy in pregnancy and lactation. 2: Lactation].
    Author: Lanczik M, Knoche M, Fritze J.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1998 Jan; 69(1):10-4. PubMed ID: 9522328.
    Abstract:
    Whilst the incidence of psychiatric disorders decreases during pregnancy, the risk during the postpartum period increases significantly, often leading to the necessity of psychopharmacological intervention during the puerperium, and subsequently during lactation and breast-feeding. The necessity for lithium prophylaxis in manic-depressive women after childbirth has been identified, and it is recommended that weaning rather than omission of psychopharmacological treatment is preferable during the puerperium.
