Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
Duloxetine (Cymbalta) is an SNRI used for depression and anxiety with limited breastfeeding data. It's generally considered compatible, but sertraline is better studied. Consult your healthcare provider.
Duloxetine has limited but generally reassuring breastfeeding safety data. Milk transfer is low and infant serum levels have been undetectable in published cases. The Infant Risk Center classifies it as likely safe. If duloxetine is effective for your depression or chronic pain condition, continuing it under provider guidance is a reasonable option.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
