How about clonazepam (Klonipin)?  Our local psychiatrists say this has the

(And isn't iot nice that they encourage these ladies to continue to BF!)

P.S.  My husband, who works for the NY Times, would second your
statement about w.....g  o.f.   Sorry I'm also getting to that "certain age."
myself, since it did strike me as a trifle off-color for  this forum!
