The most important thing to remember about this family of antidepressant drugs is that you never know if one or another of them will work for you.
I would start with Cymbalta. Only about 1.1% of the dose or less gets to the infant.
Desvenlafaxine(Pristiq) 6-9% gets to infant. Milnacipran, the manufacturer says 5% of dose gets to infant.
Talk with your doctor and get this suggestion.
