Tricyclic Antidepressants

Most antidepressants in the tricyclic category are listed as “safe to take while breastfeeding,” except DoxetIn . Elavil (amitriptyline) is safe to take while breastfeeding. While an occasional dose of Valium (diazepam) is considered safe while breastfeeding, prolonged use is not advisable.
