Dear mam Serta is a medicine and can be used safely during breast feeding. As far as Lopez is concerned, we need to weigh the risks and benefit. It is secreted in breast milk and can cause drowsiness in baby, so if you do need to take it try to discuss this with your psychiatrist and take the minimum possible dose. Also you can consider breastfeeding feeding just before taking the medication so that it is secreted in minimal amount in your breast milk. Please do not stop the medicine on your own. Have a discussion with your psychiatrist about the pros and cons and then decide.
