Breastfeeding while taking Olanzapine (Trade name: Zyprexa)

swugnireland.ie · 2010-01-26 17:34:01

Have any mothers breastfed while on olanzapine? My wife who's currently suffering from post natal depression is currently taking 5mg per day. initially the doctors were sceptical about her breastfeeding but now they've checked it out and it seems to be ok? Side effects????

We can't give any advice or discuss prescription medication on here. If your doctor thinks it's ok and you're unhappy with that then I'd seek a second opinion to be honest.
