No: The safety of taking Mirtazapine during nursing is unknown. Talk with your doctor about this.

Okay for most: This is a relatively low adult dose and exposure studies have shown it does enter the milk. Baby exposure is limited to 2-6% of the normalized adult dose. When an antidepressant is needed this has a better profile than some. Observation for occasional sedation is recommended at higher doses. See. Hale,T W "Medications and Mothers Milk, 15th ed,2012,p790.
