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)
