Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), especially sertraline and paroxetine, are first-line antidepressants in the treatment of postpartum depression in breastfeeding women as these drugs are well tolerated by most breastfed infants. Although some women with these diagnoses require additional antidepressants to SSRIs, the safety of combined usage of SSRIs and mirtazapine is currently unknown. This report includes short-term safety data of breastfed infants exposed to paroxetine plus low-dose mirtazapine.

Newer generation antidepressant drugs (ADs) are widely used as the first line of treatment for major depressive disorders and are considered to be safer than tricyclic agents. In this critical review, we evaluated the literature on adverse events, tolerability and safety of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, bupropion, mirtazapine, trazodone, agomelatine, vilazodone, levomilnacipran and vortioxetine. Several side effects are transient and may disappear after a few weeks following treatment initiation, but potentially serious adverse events may persist or ensue later.
