Just read the post on Fluoxetine (Prozac) and the mom nursing her 2 y/o.  In
the last lecture of Dr. Hale's that I attended, Fluoxetine was discouraged
because of it's very long half-life.  Zoloft was an acceptable substitute in
breastfeeding.  However, the benefits must out weight the risks.  Maybe a
change in Rx. would be better than weaning at this point.  Anyhow, that's my
$0.02.
