8Amitriptyline for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
If you are currently taking amitriptyline for treating depression, your healthcare provider would advise you to continue the treatment during pregnancy. Avoid stopping the medication without the guidance from your doctor. Studies have shown that amitriptyline can pass into breast milk. However, this amount is very small and unlikely to cause any negative effects in breastfed infants. Therefore, you can still take this medication when breastfeeding. In fact, taking amitriptyline for treating depressive symptoms may boost your mood and improve the overall health, which are good for your babies as well. [10]
