Buspirone
Buspirone is used for generalized anxiety disorder and has limited breastfeeding safety data. Use with provider guidance, as infant exposure data is sparse. Consult your healthcare provider.
Buspirone has very limited published data on breastfeeding. Animal studies show it transfers into milk at detectable levels. There are no human studies. Given the lack of data, the Infant Risk Center recommends using it cautiously if the benefit outweighs risk. SSRIs like sertraline often have better evidence for anxiety disorders and may be preferred.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
