McK...your back...
I use T4 still. It's Levothyroxine. A tyroid supplement. AAP says it's "usually compatable with Breastfeeding."
As for the Prozac I was on a very low dose for about 5 months. It was the same mg an adolescent or senior might take. Nov to April. May have been SDD too, as I felt much better that spring. AAP says it is a drug that "effect on nursing infant is unknown but may be of concern." The Pediatric concerns were "colic, fussiness and crying". I don't know that I would have picked that drug if i had it to do over again..there are others now that work with less side affects.
Good info on drugs while breastfeeding is from Dr. Thomas Hale. I use his desk reference book all the time. 2004 is my latest. I think Dr Jack Newman has info on it too in his book..
