Is it allowed to take Trazodone during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is excreted into breast milk in clinically non-significant amount. Not effects on the infant's physical and psychomotor development at both short or long-term were found. Variable levels of Prolactin secretion (increment or lowering), which were non-significant, were found after the use of Trazodone. Because there is less experience published than with other drugs of the same pharmacological group, it should be preferred the use of an alternative drug that is known to be safer in the neonatal period or prematurity.

I have been on Trazodone for about 15 years, 200 mg at bedtime. It helps me get a good night sleep and helps great for depression. I used to be very depressed! After 8 hrs sleep I wake up feeling refreshed. I will stay on this for the rest of my life.
