QUESTION: I have two or more migraines every month. My ob/gyn just prescribed Prozac to control them. Is it safe to take while nursing?



I have had a number of moms on the SSRI meds including Prozac though I would prefer most trying Zoloft first. This class of medications seem to help moms with migraines especially if they are irritated by moms hormonal cycle. American baby just had a blurb about the apparent safety of this type of medication in this month's issue. (March 99)
