Hi everyone, I signed onto Lactnet last month with a question before I had really had a chance to learn the ropes. Now that I have been lurking for a while I will introduce myself. I am a LLL Leader(15 yr) in Fairbanks, Alaska. There are 4 other leaders in the Fairbanks area and we are leading 2 Group meetings each month. I am the only one of us with access to the internet and it is really exciting to know all of you are out there. Living this far from the rest of the country can feel isolated sometimes but Lactnet is a giant step toward eliminating this isolation. Thank you all for being there! The info I received from Lactnet concerning Prozac and other antidepressants was really helpful (I'm going to buy Dr. Tom Hale's book!) The situation is still unresolved but the mother is still nursing and has not begun any drug therapy. So far so good. Now I have another drug related question. What are the implications of taking Prilosec while nursing? A mom has been diagnosed with an ulcer, given Prilosec and advised to wean. She has chosen to continue nursing while taking the medication right after nursing but wants to know what the risks are. She is dealing with military medical care givers and has not been able to get much information. I'll be "seeing" you on line! Mary Nebert
