Can I take trazodone while breastfeeding?

Short answer: Data specific to trazodone and breastfeeding is limited; this should be discussed individually with your prescriber and your baby's pediatrician.

Editorially reviewed

Because comprehensive breastfeeding-specific data is limited for trazodone compared with some other antidepressants, this decision is best made individually with both your prescriber and your baby's pediatrician, weighing your specific treatment needs against the available (if limited) safety information.
