Among the 24 identified System Organ Classes, nervous system disorders and psychiatric disorders were the most frequently reported AEs associated with zuranolone. Beyond the AEs already listed in the drug label, intrusive thoughts and feeling drunk exhibited strong signal intensity, though these findings require cautious interpretation. Our study identified unexpected safety concerns, including panic attack, tachyphrenia, suicidal ideation, dissociation, brain fog, and dysphemia, suggesting potential risks of depression switching to mania, suicide, addiction, and cognitive or speech-related impairments. The signal of exposure via breast milk highlights a unique population concern. Sleep-related AEs, such as somnolence, hypersomnia, and initial insomnia, highlight the central nervous system effects of zuranolone. Additionally, rare movement symptom-related AEs were observed, including tremor, muscle twitching, and motor dysfunction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that safety concerns associated with traditional GABAkines may persist in zuranolone. Given the specific patient population for zuranolone, clinicians should be particularly vigilant about its potential risks in certain clinical contexts, particularly breast milk exposure and the potential risk of sedation. Prospective clinical studies are warranted for continued monitoring of rare or long-term AEs. Further safety evaluations and clinical management strategies are essential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10398562261481737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T05:29:23Z","timestamp":1788931763000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Safety evaluation of zuranolone in the management of postpartum depression: A real-world pharmacovigilance study using the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS)"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Wenzhuang","family":"Hou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Wuxi Huishan District People\u2019s Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Affiliated Taizhou People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0043-5407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaomin","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, The Affiliated Taizhou People\u2019s Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-med-041217-011106"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40263-019-00605-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41398-021-01663-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.20220785"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40265-023-01953-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapsychiatry.2021.1559"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eclinm.2023.102308"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2023.115640"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_10_2","unstructured":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
