A friend of mine was on a prozac cousin, and discovered that her life
insurance rate was being driven way up by it.  She has gone off it,
intending to go back on just after their cut-off date, to get her
payments back down.  She is on it despite a nursing child, but the child
is old enough that she is nervous telling the MD that she's still
nurisng, although it is only occasionally, so she isn't worried about
side effects for the child.

Absurd, huh?  Isn't someone who needs the meds a lower risk ON the meds,
not off? (except, of course, for the first month or two of someone who
had been suidical already)  Don't these insurance people have any common
sense?  And not being able to tell your doctor that an older child is
nursing is a sad condition of our society.
