Hi Inderal and paxidep can be used during breastfeeding. However etilaam can cause some sedation in baby.  So watch for sign of excessive sedation in baby and if baby has some sedation then stop it and consult your doctor again. Amitop can be used but it has more side effects compare to above mentioned medicine. So decide carefully. Thanks
